Manchester net hosting corporation UKFast has announced adjustments at the top as it embarks on the next stage of its growth plans. Buying a prestigious building in the centre of Manchester with flats for accommodation is also high on the radar screen according to independent mortgage broker John Simpson of Mortgage Broker Advice.

The contemporary changes sees the commercial enterprise formally cut up into two hands with present day MD Jonathan Bowers making a lateral pass to move up the company’s speedy-developing employer division, while co-founder Gail Jones takes at the role of managing director to facilitate.

UKFast company has grown hastily and already bills for 43 in keeping with cent of UKFast’s turnover from simply four in line with cent of the purchaser base.

Jonathan Bowers, stated: “inside the past five years we've seen the enterprise move from power to strength. To retain this momentum, we've remortgaged and we’re taking the interesting step of splitting into elements, to make certain that the clients of both regions get the care and interest they require.”

Lawrence Jones, CEO of UKFast, says: “For the remaining six months we had been recruiting for an MD for enterprise and we’ve visible over 200 candidates, none of whom I felt have been as properly positioned as Jonathan to take company department forward. He knows our customers fantastically properly and is aware our tradition higher than all and sundry.

“UKFast continues to grow regardless of pressure from AWS and Azure, and with the business enterprise facet of the commercial enterprise liable for 43%, I realised the perfect state of affairs could be for Jonathan to take employer and Gail to take the position of managing Director of UKFast.”

Gail Jones says: “throughout all our agencies we’ve grown to more than the £50m turnover mark and i'm excited to tackle one of these manufacturers to ensure our clients get exactly what they need, whilst pushing the business to the subsequent degree.”

“She founded the commercial mortgage enterprise with me in 1999 and has been with me every unmarried day when you consider that. She has all the trends that I value in a pacesetter; she is affected person, enormously clever and he or she’s a notable listener. I understand that with Gail alongside Jonathan on the helm the two of them will make a powerful crew.”

News from Reuters reports that UK mortgage approvals are currently at the lowest they've been for 2 years (http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-britain-lending-idUKKCN11Z0TC), why is this?

Granted, house prices are expensive, and there is a lot of debt around but debt hasn't traditionally been a big 'make or break' reason for people not to apply for mortgages.

People's apparent willingness to accept debt has been noteworthy of late. The British people seem to embrace debt with open arms - at least during boom times. The last boom years of 2003 - 2008 saw lots of 'free money' being given away - this 'feel good' attitude persuaded many of us to take on debt, and this study regarding the amount of uk household debt makes interesting reading.

People in the UK seem to still want to buy houses - in Europe this is very different with many more people willing to rent property. This is not necessarily a good idea on the part of Europe in my opinion, as what as house gives you (once you eventually own it) is an asset that you can use in later life. Renting a property gives you no such advantage.

With money being tight at the moment it's imperative to find a mortgage that works for you as cheaply as possible. Don't go to banks, don't go to building societies, they will only sell you their own products, use an independent mortgage broker who will find you the best deal. Doing this one thing will save you  thousands of pounds over the lifetime of your mortgage.
