Hannah Cowell

I have 36 years of experience of working in the financial services sector, initially for Alliance and Leicester, which then became Santander. I was based within various local branches covering Swadlincote, Ashby de la Zouch, Loughborough, Coalville and Derby - to name just a few. Whilst I was with the bank, I was trained to a high standard and gained the Level 4 CII Diploma as well as other industry qualifications, including the Certificate for Financial Advisers (CeFA) and the Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP). I am also a member of the Personal Finance Society. Please call me to arrange our first no obligation meeting, which is at our cost, when I trust you will find that I am approachable, honest and trustworthy. I look forward to hearing from you.
