Mortgage and protection advice firm Access Financial Services has appointed Adrian Brewer (pictured) to the newly created position of head of later life.
Brewer was branch manager at Mortgage Advice Bureau Later Life and has around 30 years of experience in financial lending, including 20 years at Beech Finance.
Brewer’s appointment acknowledges the growing market for borrowers aged 55 and over.
His key priorities include expanding the firm’s later life proposition, developing adviser awareness of the benefits of later life lending, and driving new business opportunities in this market.
His appointment followed the firm’s September announcement that Nicholas Jones would step into the newly created role of mortgage sales and marketing director.
Brewer said: “It’s great to be back in the intermediary marketplace and heading up the new later life business at Access FS.
“I am passionate about later life lending and looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with the talented Access FS advisers. Adviser education is a large part of my role.”
Karl Wilkinson, founder and CEO of Access FS, said: “Adrian is a great asset to the business.
“He will develop our later life offering, streamline our processes and further embed our deep-seated culture of holistic advice across the group.”
