National broker firm, Just Mortgages, has appointed three new development directors.

The trio will work with the firm’s regional directors to support Just Mortgages’ self-employed brokers.

The unnamed development directors have each been promoted internally, having previously been area directors. Each one is responsible for two area directors and a further 20 mortgage brokers. Just Mortgages is planning to hire a further two development directors to greater support to advisers.

Ben Allkins, head of mortgages and protection for the Just Mortgages self-employed division, said: “The end goal of any decision we make is to help our brokers.

“The addition of the development directors will bring in an extra layer of support for our brokers.

“They are an invaluable resource for our self-employed team to tap into and will provide another outlet where they can ask for advice and help develop business plans.”
