Building a business of his own
Joe's story so far...

Joe Brown was 19 when he joined his family business, Pam Brown Mortgages, as an administrator in 2020. What began as a job behind the scenes soon became a career he wanted to pursue. He completed CeMAP in 2021 while working full time, then began thinking about a business of his own.

In 2023, at 22, he founded Brown & Co. The move gave him the chance to build on what he had learned in the family firm and develop his own place in financial advice.

Joe has also been managing Crohn's disease and PSC alongside his career. His plans for the business include making advice more approachable for younger people and communities that may be less familiar with professional financial support.

As a young Black adviser, he wants others to see opportunities for themselves in the profession. His own route began in administration and led to business ownership within three years. As Brown & Co develops, he hopes to encourage more young people from different backgrounds to consider where a career in mortgages and advice could take them.
