Movera is set to grow its conveyancing teams by more than 100 this year as part of its overall business strategy.
The plans followed Movera’s rebranding last autumn, which brought together seven home moving brands from across the sector, including ONP Solicitors, CLG and Grindeys.
Movera currently employs 600 people across the country and processes more than 300,000 conveyancing transactions a year.
The seven businesses operate independently, but are all enabled and supported by Movera and its platform technology.
ONP Solicitors employs more than 300 people at its Stockport offices, and 39 in Leeds.
Grindeys Conveyancing in Stoke-on-Trent employs 77, while CLG in London employs 65.
Movera now plans to boost its teams by more than 100, supported by its investment in technology and learning and development.
While it will continue to recruit experienced conveyancers, it is also actively recruiting those who want a conveyancing career but who are not qualified lawyers.
It will offer recruits without formal qualifications free, in-house training at its own academy.
Set up last year, the Movera Academy offers extensive learning pathways.
These include four-week courses for those with experience, 16-week courses for those with no conveyancing experience, and shorter skills courses and workshops such as learning on IT applications, customer service skills and management development.
Its learning and development team has grown from just one a year ago to five, and will expand to include an additional four trainers by the end of the year.
Movera invested over £5m in the past year in technology to make work easier and more enjoyable.
Its integrated systems mean that it can easily provide bonuses based on the number of case numbers handled.
Automation has also eradicated many of the repetitive and time-consuming tasks expected of case managers at other conveyancing firms.
Nick Hale (pictured), chief executive officer at Movera, said: “We’re on the lookout for brilliant people to help us create better home moving experiences.
“One of our key aims is to level the playing field and create career opportunities for everyone.
“Our culture is collaborative and fun and we believe in ‘working better by working smarter’, which makes for a more rewarding and varied workload and our attractive bonus targets achievable.
“Our teams tell us that the user-friendliness and ease of our technology, systems, and processes are among the many reasons they prefer working at Movera over other firms.”
