Just Mortgages has announced the creation of a dedicated academy and broker support facility in Manchester, its first in the north of England.
Advisers wishing to join the Just Mortgages self-employed division have, until now, have had to travel down to Northamptonshire for the face-to-face element of their induction training.
Just Mortgages currently has over 600 mortgage advisers working on either an employed or self-employed basis.
The new training location in Manchester is supported by the appointment of a new training manager, Tom Bell, who has specific responsibility for the Northern areas of the UK.
Laura Hide, senior training manager at Just Mortgages, said: “We’re thrilled to open this new facility in the north of England which will be more inclusive and convenient for our northern based applicants.
“We have been offering workshops and one day sessions in the north since restrictions were relaxed and the success of these has driven our increased commitment to the region and to ensure courses are more accessible.”
Ashley Edwards, regional director for Just Mortgages, added: “The north of England has a huge amount of talented, passionate, and driven individuals who will be wonderful in running their own businesses. We’re delighted to be playing our part in helping them start and develop their businesses and induction is a huge part of this.
“It’s important they start their journey with us on the right foot and as prepared as possible. The location of this training is vital and we are delighted with the facilities and comfort that we can now provide.”
