National equity release adviser firm Bower Retirement Services is aiming to significantly grow its face to face adviser team and support staff. It wants to double its number of advisers over the next 12 months from the 24 it has at the present time.

Over the past 12 months, Bower has grown its business by 50%, and enquiry levels are booming also, rising by 25% year on year.

As a result, Bower is looking to expand its workforce to capitalise on growing demand in the sector. It is also currently investing in bespoke admin and support systems.

Geoff Charles, CEO of Bower Retirement Services, said: “We are offering dedicated advisers the chance to join a fast-growing ethical adviser service with an excellent reputation. Our particular brand of patient, empathetic customer advice is proving popular with customers – leading to unprecedented levels of applications.

“As a result, we are looking to increase our team of specialist advisers, enabling us to help even more homeowners to access equity safely, helping to improve their quality of life.”
