Five self-employed principal brokers are the latest graduates from the Just Mortgages Business Principals Leadership programme.

The programme is designed to support principal brokers looking to expand their business by taking on new team members. The aim is to help build on their leadership skills to ensure principals get the most out of their team members in terms of performance and productivity.

All brokers are asked to complete the programme within 12 months of becoming a principal. This is to ensure that brokers are in the best possible position to drive their business forward and help their team reach their full potential.

The three-day training takes place in a face-to-face environment and is split over the course of three months, minimising disruption to their business.

In addition to leadership and management, brokers can access sales support, product and protection training, sales quality and compliance support, marketing and wellbeing.

This is in addition to the  Just Mortgages academy set up to bring new advisers into the industry.

Just Mortgages senior training manager Laura Hide comments: “While many advisers are expert communicators and build fantastic relationships with clients, they don’t always have the necessary skillset to manage and develop other brokers.

“This programme forms an integral part of our wider principal training and provides the tools to help self-employed brokers go from ‘one-man bands’ to multi-broker operations”.

Having welcomed 48 new advisers in first quarter of 2023, the self-employed division at Just Mortgages is now approaching 500 advisers.
