The Mortgage Stop, based in Romsey, has strengthened its team to support growth across Hampshire. Rita Kohli, founder and managing director of The Mortgage Stop, said: "We’ve grown steadily, and it’s important we scale in the right way. "Investing in client care support protects the quality of service we’re proud of and gives us a stronger platform to grow." It has further expanded into business protection to better support limited company directors and self-employed clients. Rita said: "Expanding our lending and protection offering means we can now support clients more fully, without sending them elsewhere.
