Mortage Advice Bureau remain confident about continued growth in adviser numbers

January 30, 2017

Mortgage Advice Bureau (Holdings) plc , one of the UK’s leading networks for mortgage intermediaries, issued Friday 27th January a pre-close trading update for the year ended 31 December 2016, ahead of publishing its final results announcement on Tuesday, 28 March 2017.

Peter Brodnicki, CEO of Mortgage Advice Bureau (Holdings) plc, said:

“Despite the uncertainty the EU referendum brought to the housing and mortgage markets last summer, MAB has delivered yet another strong performance. Activity levels picked up following the expected summer lull, and from this position the housing and mortgage markets are forecast to be flat over the next few years.

“Our increase in adviser numbers was ahead of our expectations last year and we remain confident about continued growth in 2017 and 2018, both organically and from new Appointed Representatives.

“Regardless of the EU referendum and predictions of flat housing and mortgage markets, MAB’s future growth plans remain unchanged. Our strategy is very clear both in the short and longer term, and the investments made in 2016 form part of our longer term planning to maintain year on year market share growth and further strengthen MAB’s overall market position.”
