Finance Solutions, part of mortgage broker Howden, has announced plans to create 100 jobs and grow mortgage approvals to €2 billion by 2027.
The company recently relocated to new offices in Dublin City Centre which were officially opened today by Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe.
Last year Finance Solutions facilitated just under €1 billion in mortgage approvals from over 2,600 applications, while it also helped over 2,000 first-time buyers to secure their homes.
It saw a 35% increase in mortgage volumes in 2024 – outpacing the broader market and said it now has 10% of the mortgage broker market, adding that it expects this to grow to 13% this year.
To support its growth strategy, Finance Solutions has expanded its workforce, increasing from 14 to 60 employees in recent years, and today announced plans to add 100 new jobs in the next two years.
“Our relocation to Dublin city centre marks a pivotal moment for Finance Solutions,” said Ken Murray, Managing Director of Finance Solutions.
“Our ambitions for 2027 reflect our confidence in the market, our commitment to continuous improvement for our clients and partners, and above all, the dedication and expertise of our exceptional team whose hard work has made this growth possible,” Mr Murray said.
Robert Kennedy, CEO of Howden Ireland, welcomed Finance Solutions’ growth ambitions and their alignment with Howden’s national and global strategy.
“Finance Solutions has been a fantastic addition to Howden Ireland, and their continued ambition is a testament to the strength of their team and leadership,” he said.
“At Howden, we are committed to building market-leading businesses that deliver real value to clients. The success of Finance Solutions reflects this vision, and their ongoing growth aligns perfectly with our national and global strategy,” he added.
Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said that improving access to housing and supporting people on their journey to homeownership is a key priority for Government.
“Finance Solutions has shown strong growth in a competitive and vital sector of our economy, and it’s encouraging to see Irish businesses like this continue to expand, innovate, and create high-quality employment,” he added.
