Just Mortgages appoints sales manager for Scotland

Published on

Just Mortgages has bolstered its self-employed division and its presence in Scotland with the appointment of Grant MacKay as sales manager.

Based near Motherwell, MacKay (pictured) will be working closely with 25 self-employed advisers across Scotland and the North East of England.

He began his career with HSBC in 2010, working in its telephony division to support customer service queries. Following time spent in a training role supporting new team members, MacKay moved into mortgages with HSBC as assistant manager and later team manager. In 2014, Grant completed his CII qualification and became an adviser

He subsequently joined Carrington Mortgage Services as a mortgage and protection adviser, before moving to firstmortgages.co.uk, where he was most recently sales quality manager.

MacKay said: “Just Mortgages has always been on my radar with its strong brand and presence in the market. When I saw this opportunity come up, it really ticked all the boxes for me. I’m excited to join the team and to use my expertise to support brokers across the region and help build the Just Mortgages brand further in Scotland.

“Everyone I have spoken to so far has been really switched on and I’ve been so impressed with the onboarding and training that is provided to all staff. Knowing how fast the division and business has grown, it’s exciting to see what the future holds – especially for a business that clearly has growth at the forefront of its plans. I look forward to playing my part.”

Ben Allkins, head of mortgages and protection at Just Mortgages, added: “Grant’s appointment is the next step in increasing support for brokers and growing our presence north of the border. He brings with him plenty of experience which will be hugely valuable to our brokers as they look to improve service, increase skills and ultimately, grow their own businesses.

“Whether it’s a new or established self-employed adviser, or even a business principal working with their own team of advisers, we have invested considerable time, effort and resources to ensure we provide the right infrastructure around each and every person. In addition to a talented and experienced management team, this includes day-to-day support with sales, marketing and compliance, as well as ongoing training and mentoring.”
