Andrews Property Group has joined the Openwork Partnership network following its recent rebrand.

Bristol-based property management and mortgage advice network Andrews operates from 47 offices throughout the south of England. It has joined the network in order to expand its client offering to include holistic wealth advice.

Paul Bumford, chief operating officer at Andrews, said: “Offering a wider choice of solutions to our clients is important to Andrews and we look forward to working with everyone across the network as we expand our advice offering to new and existing clients looking for support across mortgages, protection and wealth.”

The network said it has an additional 200 mortgage and protection advisers in its pipeline, to add to its existing 2,500 mortgage and protection advisers within The Openwork Partnership.

The Openwork Partnership said it was “particularly pleasing” to finalise the partnership during the Coronavirus pandemic and so soon after the recent rebrand.

John Cupis, managing director, mortgages and protection, at The Openwork Partnership, said: “There has never been a better time to join our network and I believe that our holistic proposition makes us an exciting partner for advisers up and down the country.”

The partnership is the latest in a series of big deals for the network.

Embark Group extended their existing distribution agreement with the network after a “successful year working together” last month. Openwork is one of the largest distribution partners of Advance by Embark, with the majority of the partnership’s wealth advisers on the platform.

The Openwork Partnership has over 4,200 financial advisers operating across the UK advising on £20bn of client money via a directly authorised, multi-panel distribution network. It is majority-owned by the Openwork Partnership LLP with its employees holding a minority stake.

It rebranded from Openwork in February to signal a “new chapter” for the business.
