Equity release broker, Age Partnership, is recruiting 30 new advisers to support the predicted growth in the equity release market.
Matt Stirland, head of equity release at Age Partnership, said: “Our clients expect the highest standard of whole-of-market advice and service from us. To guarantee this standard we segment clients depending on their needs. The 30 new advisers will be joining key areas of the equity release business, including the plan review switching team, premier client, face-to-face and over the phone teams.
“From June, in-line with the government road map, there will be a return to face-to-face advice. This is something that we’re all delighted about, including our clients who are now requesting in home visits. Our face-to-face team adapted fantastically during the lockdowns, the new skills learnt and the use of tech are now a firm part of our business, but these advisers are specialists at delivering advice in a home environment and I know that many of them can’t wait to get back to doing what they do best.
“Our advisers are at the core of Age Partnership, the 30 new advisers will receive the highest standard of training and compliance guidance, access to our bespoke whole-of-market sourcing system and an extremely competitive remuneration package.
“This year we’re spending over £10 million on marketing in order to further increase our market share and support the growth of the wider industry. In addition, we’re also about to launch new partnerships with several high street names, coupled with more product choice than ever for a growing range of client situations – it’s great news for the sector overall . We’re already feeling the bounce back of demand and predict this to grow further in H2. Clients are now feeling much more confident about making financial decisions around their future and our adviser recruitment drive will mean that we’re in the best possible position to provide our gold standard level of advice to all clients as demand increases.”
