National brokerage, Just Mortgages, has appointed Andy Cuthbert to the role of sales manager for the Midlands, to support the continued growth of its self-employed division.

In his role, Andy will work closely with 30 self-employed advisers across the region in their journey to full competence, with scope for more as the division expands. In addition to providing guidance and support, Andy will be helping the advisers expand their skill set and explore opportunities to grow their businesses. He will also work closely with advisers to provide compliance support.

Andy brings with him a wealth of experience from 30 years across the mortgage industry. His journey began in 1993 as an adviser for Black Horse agencies, before joining an independent estate agency and working his way from adviser right through to managing director during a 13-year tenure. Andy also had spent more than three years with Spicerhaart and Just Mortgages starting in 2010.

Speaking on his appointment, Andy said: “When the opportunity came up, it felt like a natural fit . The change in the business over the last ten years has been amazing, with the launch and massive expansion of the self-employed division. Just Mortgages does a fantastic job of supporting its self-employed advisers and making the journey as painless as possible. The team is clear in its ambitions to expand the division and I am thrilled to be playing my part in that.”
