Kim Spires

I’m Kim Spires, a multifaceted marketing and mortgage professional originally from Istanbul, Turkey. My life has been filled with rich experiences, vibrant cultures, and a dedication to education and personal growth. After studying English and Marketing in London, I built a successful marketing and PR specialist career, refining my skills and making my mark in the industry. Life took a new turn when I moved to Essex and welcomed my children. Embracing my role as a mother, I shifted my focus to education, working as a Teaching Assistant in local schools. As a lifelong learner, I pursued further education by studying CeMAP (Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice), and upon qualification, I joined Connect in February 2017. Since then, I have been a full-time employee at Connect, working closely with my colleagues and specialising in Residential and Buy-to-Let (BTL) portfolio mortgages. My background in marketing and PR, combined with my knowledge of mortgage practices, has proven to be an invaluable asset to the company. I am passionate about travelling, reading, and practising yoga in my free time. I cherish every moment spent with my family and continue to be an inspiring example of adaptability, determination, and professional success.
