East Yorkshire financial services firm to create jobs with national expansion

An East Yorkshire financial services business is eying national expansion with plans to grow its workforce.

Pocklington based Apex Mortgage & Protection plans to create 15 new jobs to support its growth outside of the region.

Launched in 2019, the firm has secured more than £130m worth of funding for customers and has provided a range of insurance services for nearly 2,000 families and businesses.

Apex, which has a 30-strong team, plans to increase its workforce to 50 before the end of the year.

Managing director Lewis Papa commented: “Two years ago we set out to create a financial services business that would provide outstanding value and service and that formula has hit home with our customers.

“Many of us have military backgrounds and that brings integrity, professionalism and a can do attitude to our service. We have access to the whole of the market which means we can select the best value mortgages and products for customers and many people are switching their mortgages to save money by taking advantage of more attractive interest rates.

“Generally our products such as healthcare, critical illness and business protection are saving customers around 20 per cent on average and this has been welcomed by families and businesses who are looking for protection following the pandemic.”
