Rosemount Financial Solutions (IFA), the mortgage and protection network, has announced the appointment of Contractor Financial as an Appointed Representative (AR).

Contractor Financial has been established by Billie Davoile and Jo Elwell to provide financial advice to contractors and self-employed individuals.

Davoile was previously a mortgage adviser at Brookson Financial, before setting up her own advice business BD Financial in 2023.

Elwell worked as director of financial services at Brookson Financial before partnering with Davoile to launch Contractor Financial.

Commenting on the appointment Elwell said:  “With over twenty-five years of combined experience, we have developed a deep understanding of the financial challenges and pitfalls contractors experience.

“We have launched Contractor Financial to ensure that contractors have access to the best mortgage rates, employee benefits, pension options, and legal services without facing discrimination due to their unique employment structure.

“We are excited to work with Rosemount Financial Solutions (IFA) Ltd as our chosen network. Their independent, whole of market proposition across mortgages, protection and wealth aligns with our core values, alongside the bespoke support offered in order to help us grow the business. The personal touch and family ethos from Ahmed and the Rosemount team was a determining factor in our decision.”

Rosemount CEO Ahmed Bawa commented: “Contractors and the self-employed can face real challenges in securing the right financial products, which is why expert advice is so important for them.

“Billie and Jo have terrific experience supporting these borrowers, and the fact that they have chosen to establish the business as an AR of Rosemount is really encouraging.”
