John Charcol becomes directly authorised

Confirmed earlier this month, the company is also using the opportunity to re-brand its advisory business back to John Charcol.

Peter Barrett, managing director of John Charcol, comments: “Today marks the culmination of many months hard work preparing the company for direct authorisation. We are delighted to once again have our truly independent status confirmed and look forward to developing and growing the business in the coming months. With John Charcol, our independent face-to-face advisory service, CharcolOnline, our award-wining transactional website, and Charcol Direct, a new telephone based advisory service, we feel we are in fantastic shape for the future.”
