The division – which was launched with just three brokers in June 2016 – generated £500,000 worth of income in March, up 40% on the previous month.

Last week, the company held its second annual self-employed conference with more than 90 brokers in attendance.

Carl Parker, director of business partnerships at Just Mortgages (pictured above), said that the self-employed division had gone from strength to strength over the past few months.

“At the start of 2017, we had 13 brokers, by the end of the year it was up to 81 and less than four months later we are at 100.

“Last month, I announced plans to take on another sales manager to maintain a good level of support for this growing number of self-employed brokers, and I am pleased to announce that I have now appointed Stuart Mitchell as our new divisional sales director to work alongside Rob Perrin in London and the South of England.

“Stuart brings with him almost 30 years of financial services experience, and was most recently executive sales manager at Countrywide, so I am delighted to have him on board.

“We have grown our broker numbers seven-fold in just 15 months and I plan to increase numbers by a further 50% by the end of this year, with a longer term goal of having over 250 self-employed brokers by 2020.”
