Financial advisor jobs increase at debt advice firm

A debt advice firm in Bury is increasing its number of financial advisor jobs in line with the growing number of enquiries from financially troubled consumers.

Global Debt Solutions expects to create 100 new financial advisor jobs in the near future, with around 85 per cent of its existing workforce employed locally, reports the Prestwich & Whitefield Guide.

And further vacancies could arise if the economic turbulence tightens its grip on the nation's finances.

Financial director Jennifer Goddard tells the publication: "The more people in debt who ring us, then the more people we have to employ to help them."

At present, the firm is helping the increasing number of people who have found their monetary situation affected in a negative way through redundancy or other effects of the recession.

Global Debt Solutions is not the only company to benefit from the recession, as figures from the Chartered Management Institute show around one in ten business leaders - in all industries - actually expect their prospects to improve from the changing economic environment.
