Smart Money reveals expansion plans

Smart Money says it will expand its search beyond financial services for the right calibre of candidate to "undergo an extensive training regime".

The firm has already secured larger premises for its Glasgow operations and is looking to bolster business levels across England and Scotland over the course of the next 12 months.

Paul Crewe, Managing Director at Smart Money Ltd, commented: “As we all know recruitment isn’t easy and it’s imperative that we add smartly and selectively to our ranks as our people will always be at the heart of what we do. Experience obviously counts for a lot within specialist lending but it’s also essential that we attract new talent to the industry in order to progress as a firm, and as a sector.

“This is likely to be part of an ongoing recruitment process as we are constantly evaluating how and where we can provide the best quality service to all our introducers and lending partners. The growth of specialist lending will continue in 2018 and - as a forward-thinking company - it’s important that we mature alongside it in a responsible and accountable manner. There are many expansion plans in the pipeline and we look forward to the new year with great anticipation.”
