Financial services firm launches fourth office in Wolverhampton for additional 250 staff

Charter Court Financial Services (CCFS) has launched its fourth office building in Wolverhampton, which will accommodate 250 staff, as the group continues to expand its presence in the city.

The company, which was founded with 28 employees in one building on the Broadlands site in 2008, now occupies four offices at the business park and has grown its headcount to nearly 650.

CCFS said its growth is driven by its planned diversification from its core activity of credit risk analysis into providing mortgages and savings accounts through its Exact Mortgage Experts, Precise Mortgages and Charter Savings Bank brands.

Ian Lonergan, CEO of CCFS, said: “We have built a highly successful team here in Wolverhampton and a big part of that is down to creating a working environment in which we can thrive and feel proud of.  Our ambition is to continue hiring and retaining great people who feel valued by the business and enjoy working here.  That’s reflected in being voted for three years running into the top 10 of the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For. We hope that next year we’ll be celebrating another top 10.”
