Network continues to grow

OurNetwork has confirmed that it has now signed up more than 200 members.

Belfast-based Dawson Whyte became OurNetwork’s 200th broker on March 10 and the company said that many others have either joined or shown a keen interest in joining since then.

OurNetwork said that reaching the 200-member milestone makes it the fastest growing broker network ever in the UK, following its launch just over six months ago.

Brian Dawson of Dawson Whyte, said: “For many years I have rejected offers from others to be a part of their network. However there are some compelling aspects to OurNetwork’s proposition, such as the possibility of earning extra commission at no extra cost. It was a nice surprise to discover Dawson Whyte was OurNetwork’s 200th member but it is no surprise that so many have and are choosing this proposition above all others in the market.”

OurNetwork’s first member Dr Dharam Duggal, managing director and founder of Crownsway, which joined just 60 minutes after its launch, added: “I can honestly say that being a member of OurNetwork has more than lived up to expectations. Being an independent organisation themselves they really have a firm grasp on the value of independence and how this should and can be prolonged and protected.”

Paul Brierley, managing director of OurNetwork said: “We are genuinely thrilled to have reached this landmark so quickly. Some may say that OurNetwork is a latecomer to the party but that has not stopped brokers from voting with their feet. And one of the main reasons OurNetwork has attracted brokers so rapidly is that our proposition has stuck to the ideal of supporting brokers without compromising their independence.

“However, we don’t intend rest on our laurels as, with 200 brokers and counting, we are very focussed on providing the broad range of high quality support and services required by all.”
