Mortgage and protection brokerage, Access Financial Services (FS) has appointed Nicholas Jones as its Mortgage Sales and Marketing Director.
In his newly created role, Jones will be responsible for growing the mortgage side of the business, along with deepening engagement with existing advisers and further developing the Access FS brand. Earlier this month, the firm announced a 46% increase in turnover in 2024, despite challenging market conditions.
Jones has 24 years of specialist lending experience, including working at Together, Roma Finance and West One Loans.
As well as engaging new advisers, Jones will be working with existing advisers at Access FS, helping drive their sales and ensuring they have top-level marketing support for their requirements. At the same time, Nicholas will establish and grow sales and marketing teams on the mortgage side of the business.
Karl Wilkinson, CEO at Access said “Having Nick on the team is a real coup for the business as we look to drive growth in our mortgages business. The industry has had a tough time of it over the last couple of years, and we successfully adapted to that by developing the protection side of our business. We’ve seen strong and steady growth in the business since we started in 2017, which seems to have been unusual in the industry since 2022.
“Now that the economy is perking up and the housing market is moving again, it’s time to balance our focus on developing the mortgage side of the business, so we can support our clients who are ready to buy and sell again.”
