Openwork has announced that it attracted 559 new mortgage and protection advisers across its network last year.
The financial advice network suggested this built on a highly successful 2018 which had also been the network’s most successful year in a decade, when 508 new mortgage advisers joined.
Openwork, which operates as a directly authorised, multi-panel distribution network, revealed that it now had more than 3,900 financial advisers operating across the UK.
The network added that in the mortgage sector, it operates a panel of more than 50 lenders for mortgages and is among the top three networks for almost all the major mortgage providers.
Openwork mortgage director, John Cupis, said: “The record recruitment figures highlight the strength of Openwork’s proposition and quality of service, as well as our reputation as a progressive, profitable, and well managed network.”
