Graeme Moorhouse (pictured) has joined Just Wealth from Just Mortgages, making him the first adviser to transfer to the financial advice arm of the national brokerage.
He started his career as a wealth co-ordinator with deVere Group in Spain, before securing qualifications and working as a mortgage and protection adviser for Future Perfect, an Openwork practice.
Moorhouse, previously self-employed with Just Mortgages’ division, has built a mortgage advice business, Moorhouse Finance, in the West Midlands.
He cited his experience in wealth advice and a new referral proposition as the reasons for the move.
With Just Wealth, Moorhouse will be able to support clients with all their financial needs, including pensions, savings, and investments.
Moorhouse said: “I’m really pleased to be taking my next steps with Just Mortgages and to be offering wealth advice with the support of Just Wealth.
“Having really enjoyed growing Moorhouse Finance, the opportunity to challenge myself and to grow this new referral proposition was one I couldn’t pass up.
“The support of the network and Just Mortgages throughout this process has been fantastic, working together to overcome any issues and provide support where needed.
Moorhouse added: “I already have big plans to expand the business in 2025 with a protection-only adviser now in place and both a wealth and mortgage adviser coming on board too.
“For others considering the move into wealth, don’t do it all by yourself – use all the help that is available.
“As I grow my wealth business, it’s a real encouragement to know the support will be there, as it has with everything else.”
John Phillips, CEO of Just Mortgages and Spicerhaart, said: “While people may think of Just Mortgages as simply a brokerage, there is certainly a lot more to it.
“Graeme’s transfer to Just Wealth is a great example, not just demonstrating the fantastic talent found within the organisation, but the broad opportunities available to fulfil your potential and achieve your goals.
“Whether it’s shifting from employed to self-employed, moving into management or indeed, a shift into wealth advice, the pathways and support exists to enable ambitious advisers to develop, scale and succeed.”
