North Derbyshire’s Mortgage 1st expands offer with launch of new protection services

By Josh Marsh - 20 September 2022

Mortgage 1^st’s exciting growth plans are showing no signs of slowing down as they approach the final quarter of 2022.

The North Derbyshire firm’s ambitious plans have always included a specialist protection arm of the business which will better serve their customers insurance needs whilst offering additional support to their existing advisers.

Mortgage 1^st managing director Jon Stones said: “Our aim at Mortgage 1^st is to provide the best possible service to our clients and also the proposition to our advisers. There is no better way to do that than to enhance the protection offering and process we currently have as a brand. The FCA are looking very closely at advice in general but protection advice seems to be an increasingly hot topic.”

As plans had started to develop an opportunity arose to bring Dave Corbett to Mortgage 1^st to help bring Protection 1^st to life. Dave has an impeccable track record within the industry and is incredibly well respected.

Dave Corbett joins Chesterfield-based Mortgage 1st from The Money Group, where he was Recruitment and Brand Development Director. He has also held senior roles as Regional Sales Director at Primis Mortgage Network, and as Regional Business Manager at the Tenet Group.

He said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Mortgage 1st at what is proving to be such a crucial time for the business. To make the move now and to know I am joining a brand that not only stands out in the industry but has genuine ambitions to be the best, is a great personal fit for me.

“Jon and Lisa have built an incredible organisation where the culture and family feel jump out in every interaction.”

As Mortgage 1^st continues to welcome new faces to the team every month, total head count will exceed 50 by the end of 2022. With Mortgage & Protection advisers both locally in Chesterfield and across the country working collaboratively together they can continue to offer their growing number of customers a high quality service.
