Just Mortgages has revealed plans to almost treble in size in five years.
The broker firm’s goal is to reach 1,500 staff across its various divisions by 2027. It is seeking to increase the number of employed and new build brokers from 160 to 425, grow the self-employed team by 450 to 1,000 brokers and expand the Just Wealth group to 75 advisers.
As part of this, it will look to expand its academy to bring fresh talent to the mortgage market. In 2021, 65 graduates came through the Just Mortgages academies and have gone on to provide advice to thousands of clients.
John Phillips (pictured), national operations director at Just Mortgages, said: “While our plans are ambitious, we are extremely confident we will achieve them.
“Our industry leading academy is bringing in new talent to the sector and our proposition for both self-employed and employed brokers is continually improving. The recent restructure of the employed division and our new head of mortgages and protection in the self-employed division will help drive us to achieve our objectives.
“Over the past few years, despite turbulence, the property sector in the UK has proven to be exceptionally robust and the Just Mortgages proposition proved to be incredibly popular. The desire for properties remains strong and alongside this, there is a growing need for expert advice.”
