Mortgage 1st acquires Peak Mortgages
Chesterfield mortgage brokerage, Mortgage 1st recently announced the acquisition of Peak Mortgages & Protection.
Formed in 2008 the family-run company has grown exponentially. During that time they placed over 10,000 mortgages in arranging £1.67 billion of lending. They have also recently been recognised for their achievements winning a national industry award.
The move will see Mortgage 1st increase to over 70 staff and follows the launch of their insurance brand, Protection 1st.
Mortgage 1st Directors Jon Stones said: “The opportunity to bring Peak into Mortgage 1st is a unique and ideal scenario. One that will see us continue to grow but also maintain our culture. We’re excited to welcome everyone from Peak into our team. We can’t wait to see how both brands continue to grow alongside one another.”
Rhys Schofield founder of Peak Mortgages & Protection says: “We are extremely proud and privileged to be a part of Mortgage 1st. Working alongside like-minded people who share the same drive and dedication was an absolute must for me. Jon and Lisa have built a wonderful brand. Visiting their head office I knew this was the perfect home for Peak.”
Mortgage 1st supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
