Who We Are

Picnic is the fresh face of mortgages — built on the success of our sister brand Haysto, the UK’s No.1 specialist mortgage broker.

We’re bold, compassionate, and focused on making mortgages make sense for everyone. In just four years, we’ve grown from a start-up to over 120 team members, and we’re only getting started. Join one of the UK’s fastest-growing mortgage brokerages and build your future with us.

• You’re highly organised, with a sharp eye on the clock and know how to get things done - we move at speed and need everyone to keep up.

Career Development

Your career ambitions are as important to us as they are to you. We’ve built a dedicated training and development programme to help all our team members realise their full potential. Many of our existing management team initially joined us as individual contributors, before their talent was recognised and rewarded with a chance to progress.

During your first 18 months at Haysto, you will work in various roles throughout our business to help build a comprehensive understanding of our customers' mortgage journey, and this will aid you with the knowledge and understanding to become a fully CeMAP-qualified Mortgage Advisor.

Be in no doubt that there is a great future and vast opportunity to shine for the right candidates beyond their existing role.
