Mortgage 1st has launched a new trading style Protection 1st and appointed Dave Corbett as part of its growth plans. 

Corbett joins Chesterfield-based firm Mortgage 1st from The Money Group, where he worked as recruitment and brand development director. 

He has also held senior roles as regional sales director at Primis Mortgage Network and regional business manager at the Tenet Group. 

Mortgage 1st managing director Jon Stones says: “Our aim at Mortgage 1st is to provide the best possible service to our clients and also the offering 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.”

Commenting on his appointment, Corbett adds: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Mortgage 1st at what is proving to be such a crucial time for the business.”

“Having known and worked with Paul Lewis previously, reaching out to him and hearing first-hand what Mortgage 1st is planning, I knew this was exactly what I was looking for.”

Lewis joined Mortgage 1st in February this year as head of growth to drive further expansion of the business. He also joined from The Money Group.
