Connect for Intermediaries has expanded into second floor premises at its headquarters in Hornchurch, Essex.

The specialist buy-to-let and commercial mortgage network and distributor says that, following a recruitment drive over the past 18 months and new appointments in the pipeline, the additional space is a “fundamental stepping stone” to support the continued growth of the company.

Liz Syms (pictured), CEO of Connect for Intermediaries, said: “After months of planning I am delighted to finally move in. This expansion is a fundamental part of our continued growth strategy for both our packaging/distribution business and broker network.

“Our newly expanded premises will help us meet the growing demand for our services and give us the platform to maintain the high level of service we strive to provide all our members and the wider broker community.

“We have exciting, ambitious plans for the company over the next 12 months and these newly expanded premises have given us the green light to build our teams and recruit senior staff across key areas of business.”
