Just Mortgages has added to its self-employed division and its presence in Scotland with the appointment of Grant MacKay as sales manager.

MacKay will be working closely with 25 self-employed advisers across Scotland and the North East of England.

Based in Motherwell, MacKay will help advisers increase their skills and grow their businesses as well as using the in-house training and support available.

MacKay joins with 15 years of experience within the industry. He started his career with HSBC in 2010, working in its telephony division to support customer service queries.

He then moved into the mortgage division of HSBC as assistant manager and later team manager.

In 2014, he completed his CII qualification and became an adviser. Following this, he joined Carrington Mortgage Services as a mortgage and protection adviser, before moving to firstmortgages.co.uk, where he was most recently sales quality manager.

Just Mortgages head of mortgages and protection Ben Allkins says: “Grant’s appointment is the next step in increasing support for brokers and growing our presence north of the border. He brings with him plenty of experience which will be hugely valuable to our brokers as they look to improve service, increase skills and ultimately, grow their own businesses.”
