A mortgage geek with a passion for cycling, I enjoy a local ale or gin and have an unhealthy obsession with Italy. I live in Leicestershire with my wife and a lively Bordoodle dog. Working with a broad range of clients, I have a special interest in providing mortgage and insurance advice to legal professionals, in particular Barristers. I have been placed in the VouchedFor Top Rated Advisers lists every year from 2019, as well as serving on the Board of our trade body; the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI). I'm a member of the London Institute of Banking and Finance holding their Diploma in Mortgage Advice and Practice, as well as being signed up to their CeMAP Advanced Professional program. With over 25 years’ experience in the financial services sector, within both lenders and brokerage firms. I have delivered presentations to various affinity groups and business clubs on a wide range of subjects such as residential and buy-to-let mortgage lending and the use of Trusts within life insurance. I have also had articles featured in various publications. I'm able to offer telephone and video appointments, as well as face-to-face meetings with new and existing clients throughout the UK.

Get help with everything from buying your first property, to remortgaging, or funding investment in property. Warning: YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE.
