"The idea started after listening to brokers tell me about their challenges. It was clear a solution was needed."
- Jeff Knight
A new offering for mortgage brokers has launched today - Broker Boost Initiative. The Initiative aims to share the collective knowledge of the industry through educational content and workshops, which can help brokers in their day-to-day lives.
The Initiative will focus on areas such as brokers' business know-how and mental energy.
Broker Boost Initiative has been led by Jeff Knight, who has been in the mortgage market since 1997, and supported by key individuals across the industry.
Jeff Knight said: “The idea started after listening to brokers tell me about their challenges. It was clear a solution was needed. The idea grew and evolved as I spent time speaking with a lot of people about the idea. This gave me the confidence to drive this forward. This is just the beginning, and we have a lot of ideas for the future.
“The market has changed so much in a relatively short period of time, and this new initiative will help connect the industry better."
Andrew Montlake, CEO of Coreco, commented: “This platform will prove invaluable to brokers who are effectively all small business owners in their own right. It will also give those organisations that support this the ability to demonstrate they care by showing they empathise with brokers, that they listen and can help."
Rachel Geddes, MD of Global Mortgage Management, added: “This is such a great initiative. So many important topics have never really been focused on before for us as brokers. It’s great to see a real focus and this is being led by brokers for brokers. Let's all get behind this.”
