Specialist financial mutual Wesleyan is growing its sales force and plans to recruit 100 financial consultants over the next six months from across the UK.

The recruitment drive has come on the back of a detailed strategic review that will set out the next stage of the company’s growth plans.

Craig Errington, group chief executive, said: “We want to increase penetration further into our core markets and to do that we need more people on the ground. While we are still formulating our detailed plans for the next stage of our strategy, we are clear that there is growing demand for the specialist advice and services that we offer.

“91% of our customers rated their experience of dealing with a Wesleyan financial consultant as very good or excellent. We want to see that figure increase further with our new recruits and so we are looking for advisers who will demonstrate first class customer service and live our values.

“We are also investing heavily in our digital capability to ensure that customers can deal with us however and whenever they want.”

Wesleyan serves niche professional customers primarily doctors, dentists, teachers and lawyers.
