Just Mortgages appoints new Sales Manager 

Just Mortgages has announced it has strengthened its self-employed division and its presence in Scotland with the appointment of Grant MacKay as Sales Manager. 

Based near Motherwell, MacKay will be working closely with 25 self-employed advisers across Scotland and the North East of England, with scope for more as the division grows. He will use his nearly 15 years of experience to help advisers increase their skills and grow their businesses, all while making the most of the in-house training and support available. 

MacKay began his career with HSBC in 2010, working in its telephony division to support customer service queries. Following time spent in a training role supporting new team members, Grant moved into mortgages with HSBC as assistant manager and later team manager. In 2014, he completed his CII qualification and became an adviser.  He would subsequently join Carrington Mortgage Services as a mortgage and protection adviser, before moving to firstmortgages.co.uk, where he was most recently sales quality manager. 

Ben Allkins, Head of Mortgages and Protection at Just Mortgages, added: “Grant’s appointment is the next step in increasing support for brokers and growing our presence north of the border. He brings with him plenty of experience which will be hugely valuable to our brokers as they look to improve service, increase skills and ultimately, grow their own businesses. 

“Whether it’s a new or established self-employed adviser, or even a business principal working with their own team of advisers, we have invested considerable time, effort and resources to ensure we provide the right infrastructure around each and every person. In addition to a talented and experienced management team, this includes day-to-day support with sales, marketing and compliance, as well as ongoing training and mentoring.”
