Chesterfield mortgage brokerage, Mortgage 1st has acquired Peak Mortgages & Protection.
Formed in 2008, the family-run company has grown exponentially. During that time Mortgage 1st placed over 10,000 mortgages in arranging £1.67 billion of lending.
The move will see Mortgage 1st increase to over 70 staff and follows the launch of their insurance brand, Protection 1st.
Mortgage 1st director Jon Stones said: “The opportunity to bring Peak into Mortgage 1st is a unique and ideal scenario. One that will see us continue to grow but also maintain our culture. We’re excited to welcome everyone from Peak into our team. We can’t wait to see how both brands continue to grow alongside one another.”
Rhys Schofield, founder of Peak Mortgages & Protection, says: “We are extremely proud and privileged to be a part of Mortgage 1st. Working alongside like-minded people who share the same drive and dedication was an absolute must for me. Jon and Lisa have built a wonderful brand. Visiting their head office I knew this was the perfect home for Peak.”
