Access Financial Services has appointed Adrian Brewer to the new position of head of later life.

Brewer (pictured) is a former branch manager at Mortgage Advice Bureau Later Life and has around 30 years of experience in financial lending including 20 years at Beech Finance.

The plan is for Brewer’s appointment to enable Access FS to grow a new later life component of its established mortgage and protection business.

PRIORITIES

Three key priorities for Brewer are to expand the firm’s later life proposition, to develop awareness among advisers of the benefits of later life lending and to drive new business opportunities in the later life market.

Brewer said: “It’s great to be back in the intermediary marketplace and heading up the new later life business at Access FS. I am passionate about later life lending and looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with the talented Access FS advisers. Adviser education is a large part of my role.”

Karl Wilkinson, founder and CEO of Access FS, added: “Adrian is a great asset to the business. He will develop our later life offering, streamline our processes and further embed our deep-seated culture of holistic advice across the group.”
