Access Financial Services is opening a new London office.
The mortgage and protection brokerage is opening the hub in Canary Wharf in an office recently vacated by JP Morgan. The new hub will provide a central base for advisers working in and around London and the South East of England.
Situated on South Quay, the office, located in the Sierra Quebec Bravo building, provides a modern, collaborative workspace for advisers based in and around the southeast. The building offers flexible and affordable office space with excellent connectivity and features a ground floor lounge, a free gym, secure cycle storage, showers, impressive views – and excellent natural light.
Access FS says the move reflects the firm’s continued growth and ambition to support its expanding team with high-quality working environments in key financial centres. With the mortgage division delivering strong performance – including approximately 40 per cent revenue growth last year – the new hub will offer facilities to meet adviser demand for professional environments that foster collaboration, productivity, and client service excellence.
Karl Wilkinson, the founder and CEO of Access FS, said: “As a fast-growing brokerage – the mortgage division grew by about 40 per cent last year – Access FS is keen to grow our bricks and mortar footprint and strengthen our position in the capital. This is why we’re really pleased to be adding a new office in Canary Wharf to our portfolio.
“Part of this is listening to the team. Our experienced advisers in and around the capital have told us they want a state-of-the-art base to connect, share best practices, and better serve their clients. The need a modern, collaborative workspace.
“But this also underline our commitment to London as a vital market for mortgages and protection.
“So we see this hub as an important step in our wider growth journey. We need to offer our advisers the tools and support to deliver outstanding service to clients and I like to think this highlights the strength of our model and the appeal of partnering with Access FS.”
The expansion into Canary Wharf follows a period of significant recruitment at Access FS, with more advisers choosing to join its brand. The company now works with over 280 advisers nationwide.
