Mortgage Lab makes learning and development hire

Davies will be responsible for training new and existing advisers, facilitate workshopping difficult deals between other Mortgage Lab advisers, and maintaining the company's internal bank-policy comparison software, the company said in a statement.

Currently, the Mortgage Lab has 19 advisers nationwide, and the hire comes as the business prepares for the new financial advisers regulatory regime.

The company said Davies was "highly respected by the BDMs and his appointment is another step towards achieving the highest level of application-quality in the coming compliance regime".
