Equity release advisory service, Equity Release Supermarket (ERS), has appointed two new advisers.

With its latest appointments – David Bishop and Tim Feather – ERS’ national team that now stands at 60 advisers. The newcomers will cover areas including the North of England and Yorkshire.

With over 40 years’ experience in the financial services arena, Bishop said: “It’s genuinely a privilege to join Equity Release Supermarket. They have a very strong work ethic and incredible reputation, as well as being at the forefront of several industry changes. So, I’m delighted to be part of the team.

“The thing I love about this job is seeing how much I can help make a difference to people’s lives. That can be to pay off a mortgage, tidy up finances or live out a long-term dream such as home improvements or holidays. Equity release can be a wonderful option to do such things for people over the age of 55, but it’s not always suitable for everyone so it’s my job here at ERS to review each client’s individual circumstances and advise them accordingly. I always offer expert, open and transparent advice tailored to the specific needs and objectives of my clients.”

Meanwhile, Feather has worked in the financial services industry since 2000, and two years later became a equity release adviser. Prior to joining Equity Release Supermarket, he held managerial roles in Lloyds TSB and Barclays, and subsequently went on to work as an equity release adviser.

Mark Gregory, founder and CEO of Equity Release Supermarket, said: “Over the past two years, we have implemented new online processes, helping us to connect seamlessly to our customers, all of which has been highly well-received, therefore we have continued to aid this digital ambition in order to meet the changing demands of our customers.

“To support this continued drive, we are thrilled to welcome David and Tim to our expansive and well-established team. Their respective expertise will help us to further strengthen our position and reach throughout the UK. It is always our aim to provide the best possible quality service to our customers, which is why we invest so heavily in our people, expertise and technology.

“We are also very proud to be creating new career opportunities at a time that continues to place people under a lot of strain, pressure and difficulty. These additional hires will also enable us to greatly serve our customer’s changing needs.”
