My background is in quality customer service as I worked in management for four-star hotels within the Brend Hotel Group, as well as what is now Bovey Castle. I qualified as a mortgage broker in 2007. After the financial crisis hit, I was made redundant in 2008; I became a self-employed consultant with a local IFA firm before starting Exe Mortgage in 2012.
Initially, I worked from home, moving first to a rented office in Sidmouth and then buying the office in Ottery St Mary in September 2016. I’m delighted that in 2022 we moved to a converted barn at Escot Estate which has loads of character as well as high sustainability credentials. There’s plenty of space to allow further growth in the business.
I work with a wide variety of clients from first-time buyers to families looking for a larger property and retirees wanting to downsize. Cases are very rarely straightforward; I’m often presented with a problem and I take great pride in finding the solution.
When I’m not in the office or meeting clients, I’m very much a family man and love spending time with my wife and children.
