Mel

I’ve worked in the finance industry since 1989, starting at the London Stock Exchange. After having my son in 2010, I had a few career changes ranging from hospitality to Covid! But it’s great to be back in the finance industry again. Spare time is scarce with a football-mad son and two dogs, so my time is usually taken up by either travelling to/from football matches or long walks.

Barry

I have 27 years mortgage advice experience in the industry, having worked with Halifax, HSBC, Handelsbanken and as a mortgage broker. Knowing I’ve made a client extremely happy and that they’re really grateful I’ve helped them buy their dream home, is what I love most about my role as an adviser.
