Stockbroking and financial services company Edward Jones plans to increase the number of offices it has in Brighton and recruit more investment representatives.

To give people an insight into the career opportunities on offer, Edward Jones is holding an open day at its office at 55 Boundary Road, Hove, on Thursday, March 6.

Allan Anderson, principal of Edward Jones in the UK, said: "We already have 127 offices open in the UK but see the Brighton area as key to our future growth.

"People visiting will be able to hear about the comprehensive salaried training programme we offer, including a secondment to the US.

"After training, an IR is qualified to sell shares, pensions and other financial products. It is worth pointing out you do not need a financial services background to become an IR."
