The Right Mortgage & Protection Network has described its first quarter results as a "strong start" to its financial year, as the network's mortgage lending increased by 25.5% year-on-year.

The group recorded continued increases in business activity across all core product areas in this period, as protection business jumped by 41.5% annually in Q1, while general insurance business increased by 29%.

It added that April was its best month on record across all product areas.

Furthermore, the number of authorised advisers within The Right Mortgage & Protection Network increased from 762 in April 2024 to 867 in April 2025. The network added that this figure stood at 886 advisers by the end of May 2025.

Chief executive officer and founding shareholder at The Right Mortgage & Protection Network, Martin Wilson, said that these results follow its "best ever year" in 2024, as it looks to "continue to deliver for firms and advisers across the UK".

He concluded: "The year-on-year growth tells its own story, particularly in areas such as PMI and protection, where we are seeing advisers seizing the opportunity to diversify and drive revenue across multiple income streams.

"We’ve also continued to grow our adviser base substantially, with our support and technology proposition attracting quality firms to the network. As always, our success reflects the hard work of the advisers and firms we support, alongside our talented internal team who are focused on providing the best possible service.

"We are fully committed to delivering the tools, the technology and the opportunities that help our advisers grow and build long-term, successful businesses. With the growth we’ve seen already in 2025, I’m confident this will be another excellent year of achievement for both our member firms and the network as a whole."
