Mortgage 1st has achieved significant milestones over the past 12 months, continuing its year-on-year growth and solidifying its reputation as a well-respected business in the financial services sector. Despite this expansion, the company has stayed true to its roots as a family-run local business, consistently delivering five-star service to its customers and creating employment opportunities for local people. Winning prestigious national awards such as Best Broker and Broker Firm of the Year in 2024, as well as being named a Top Mortgage Employer, demonstrates that the quality of its service is recognised both nationally and within its own team.


Collaboration is at the heart of the business’s success, with strong partnerships established with local estate agents, housebuilders, and solicitors to ensure a seamless and high-quality service for customers. The organisation also gives back to the community by supporting local charities and offering face-to-face appointments at its head office at Barlborough Links for customers in the local area.


Beyond its business operations, the company is passionate about financial education and raising aspirations among young people. By working closely with schools in the district, it delivers lessons on financial literacy and highlights career opportunities both within the business and across the wider financial services industry. 


Additionally, the business is highly active on social media, sharing educational content and guides to help people make informed decisions about buying a house, refinancing their home, or selecting insurance policies.

When asked how to encourage more people to consider Bolsover as a destination, the organisation believes that change begins with local residents and businesses. By embracing and supporting the area, and by actively promoting its events and attractions, Bolsover can thrive. The company emphasises the importance of positive conversations, encouraging people to focus on what makes the town special rather than its challenges. With ongoing support and investment, Bolsover is well-positioned for continued enhancements and growth.


We asked Lisa to describe Bolsover in three words: Friendly. Community. Home.
