“We’ll help you grow”
James McGowan and George Pitchford of Legacy Financial know the difference a supportive Network can make. Having been part of several of the major networks in the industry, they joined The Right Mortgage in 2024 with a clear perspective on what works and what doesn’t. From the start, they were looking for a partner that would back up the promise of “we’ll help you grow” with real action, and that’s what they found with TRM.
Push forward their business
From day one, James and George have felt that TRM’s focus is on community, not exclusivity.
“There’s been no keeping secrets and only supporting the top 10 firms,” they explained. “It’s all about a community of growth.”
By sharing openly what works and what doesn’t, TRM has given them first-hand insight and encouragement to push their business forward without barriers.
James said “the decision to join was made easier by TRM’s family feel and fresh approach”. Rather than worrying about network headaches in the background, Legacy Financial has been able to concentrate fully on running and growing the business. For James and George, this sense of space and reassurance has been vital.
No network is perfect
Most importantly, “TRM listens”. No Network is perfect, if it were, it would be your own. But when issues arise, whether compliance-related, system-related, or simply about applying common sense, “TRM listens, learns, and helps”. This approach has given them confidence and trust in their Network partnership.
Safety in Common Sense
One of the biggest frustrations for many brokers is compliance. Too often, networks hold advisers back with rigid or restrictive oversight. Legacy Financials’ experience has been the opposite. With TRM, they’ve found “the perfect blend of safety and common sense.” There’s no iron fist stopping them from advising; instead, there’s a balanced framework that protects clients while giving advisers the freedom to do their job effectively.
Steadily climbing the Leaderboard
Since joining just over a year ago, James and George have secured their place among The Right Mortgage’s Top 100 firms, steadily climbing the leaderboard. They have grown Legacy Financial into a firm of five advisers and are continually looking to recruit more talent into their ever-growing and successful business
Looking ahead, James and George feel strongly that TRM has been worth the move.
“If you want a network that allows you to grow whilst having your back, then TRM will be worth it.”
