The podcasts form part of the company’s Growth Series range of broker support

Accord Mortgages, the intermediary lending subsidiary of Yorkshire Building Society, has reached the 50,000 downloads milestone for the podcasts within its Accord Growth Series, a library of free educational content for brokers launched in 2018.

The Growth Series includes a range of guides, blogs, webinars and podcasts, which is regularly updated with new content. The fortnightly podcasts provide top tips from industry experts and mortgage brokers on a range of subjects, including buy-to-let, first-time buyers, Consumer Duty requirements, and AI and technology.

Inspired by leaders of industry

Recent themes have included the power of mentors, women’s health and surviving economic abuse. Others, from Accord managing director Jeremy Duncombe’s Mortgage Mentors podcast series, inspire with industry leader interviews.

The company’s first episode, “How social media helped to grow my brokerage from £0 to £2.5 million turnover”, remains its most popular and there have been 145 further episodes since.

Duncombe said: “The Growth Series was created to support brokers in their personal development and help them expand their businesses. We’re incredibly proud of how far it has come and of the high‑quality, timely content we’ve delivered over the years.

“Reaching 50,000 podcast downloads highlights just how relevant and valued the series is. The feedback from brokers has been fantastic, and their input continues to shape future episodes by guiding us towards the topics that matter most to them.”
