Specialist Finance Centre appoints Recruitment Director

23 February 2023

Specialist Finance Centre (SFC), the second charge and specialist finance packager, has announced the appointment of Joe Dillon as its Recruitment Director.

Joe has joined the Cardiff-based broker to spearhead the growth of its self-employed arm, SFC Solo, where advisers remain self-employed whilst benefiting from all the support and infrastructure the head office provides.

He has 16 years’ experience within the financial services sector, having previously worked at Y3S for 13 years and Charles Frank Finance for three years.

Joe is tasked with onboarding specialist brokers, high street brokers and equity release advisers across the country to SFC Solo.

Advisers who join SFC Solo not only get to trade independently with no monthly fees or hidden costs but benefit from the administration and compliance support that the employed side of the business has to offer. Free CRM and sourcing are all included, with free office space available to those based in South Wales.

Daniel Yeo, Founder and Managing Director at Specialist Finance Centre, commented:

“I’m very pleased to welcome Joe to Specialist Finance Centre. He has the right experience to lead our growth strategy for SFC Solo; he’s very well connected and is the perfect fit for this role.

“SFC specialises in first and second charges, commercial and buy-to-let, and bridging and development finance. Joe’s remit is to recruit the best talent who work within these areas and match our core values of integrity, collaboration and determination.”

Joe Dillon, Recruitment Director at Specialist Finance Centre, commented:

“I was delighted by the opportunity to spearhead the growth of SFC Solo. The proposition is very strong, providing admin and compliance support with no monthly fees or hidden costs.

“Our advisers also get to benefit for having all mortgage and finance products under one roof so if you’re a first charge broker you can concentrate in that area but can refer any specialist cases to the head office and vice versa.

“If you are a mortgage or specialist mortgage adviser and are considering a change or would just like to discuss how SFC Solo could benefit you, please get in touch.”
