Nick Haycock, managing director at Countrywide, said: “Countrywide has always been about providing the best deals for brokers – to help them generate advantages for their business and advantages for their customers. With CountrywidePlus, members still retain independence whilst benefiting from additional business support.

“At Countrywide we understand that some brokers need advice and guidance in core business areas such as HR, IT and Compliance. Therefore it is important to provide them with a range of options. Open GI users now benefit from more choice and flexibility when choosing a network.
