From humble beginnings
CLS Money was established by its founder and Managing Director, Clayton Shipton, from his home office in 2011, to demystify the mortgage market and simplify the application process for its customers.
Since its inception, CLS Money has shifted through the gears. Just months after opening its inaugural office in 2015, the company was in the process of upscaling to a much larger space in order to accommodate its fast expanding team.
The company’s ambitious growth plans, combined with an explosion of demand for specialist mortgage advice, led to the realisation that just one office was not going to be enough! CLS ended up opening the first CLS Money high street branch in 2018 and a dedicated office for the administration team in 2020.
Even though CLS had its larger head office, a high street branch and an office dedicated to the administration team, this still wasn’t big enough to contain the ever growing team!
The third move has taken CLS into a newly refurbished 6,000 sq ft office, which will serve as their new HQ.
