Just Mortgages appoints new sales manager for growing self-employed division
18 April 2023
National brokerage Just Mortgages has appointed Andy Cuthbert to the role of sales manager for the Midlands, to support the continued growth of its self-employed division.
In his role, Andy will work closely with 30 self-employed advisers across the region in their journey to full competence, with scope for more as the division expands. In addition to providing guidance and support, Andy will be helping the advisers expand their skill set and explore opportunities to grow their businesses. He will also work closely with advisers to provide compliance support.
Andy brings with him a wealth of experience from 30 years across the mortgage industry. His journey began in 1993 as an adviser for Black Horse agencies, before joining an independent estate agency and working his way from adviser right through to managing director during a 13-year tenure. Andy also had a three-and-a-half year spell with Spicerhaart and Just Mortgages starting in 2010.
Speaking on his appointment, Andy Cuthbert said: “I am really excited to be back at Just Mortgages and working within such an impressive part of the business. When the opportunity came up, it felt like a natural fit and something to investigate further. It’s great to be able to use my experience and work closely with Just Mortgages’ ambitious advisers to provide the support they need to reach their full potential.
“The change in the business over the last ten years has been amazing, with the launch and massive expansion of the self-employed division. Just Mortgages does a fantastic job of supporting its self-employed advisers and making the journey as painless as possible. The team is clear in its ambitions to expand the division and I am thrilled to be playing my part in that.”
Carl Parker, national director at Just Mortgages added: “Since launching the self-employed division, our aim has been to provide our advisers with the necessary infrastructure around them to make a real success of it. By expanding our team and increasing the knowledge base within the division, not only can we continue that principal but we can be more targeted in the level of support we provide.
“It’s great to welcome Andy back to the team, who will be a valuable resource to advisers in the region. We believe we offer a fantastic proposition to those looking to go self-employed, whether it’s through support running the business, improving and developing skills or expanding licence options to increase income streams. We are firm believers that going it alone doesn’t mean being alone.”
The new hire is the next step in ambitious plans to grow the division to more than 1,000 advisers. Earlier this year, Just Mortgages appointed five new regional directors to provide the necessary structure for future expansion. With growing interest in becoming self-employed, the division is set to reach 500 advisers later this year.
