About

With a financial services career spanning back to 1993, I've dedicated myself to guiding individuals through the often complex world of mortgages and protection. My journey began as a Financial Adviser with the Prudential, leading to a focus on mortgages and protection in 1995. In 2001, I founded Beechwood Mortgages, and in the past few years, my wife and I have been privileged to see it grow into a thriving firm with a team of eight experienced mortgage advisers.


We're proud to be part of Stonebridge Mortgage Solutions, a larger organisation that shares our commitment to growth and excellence. This partnership is invaluable, ensuring we remain aligned with the ever evolving landscape of regulations and compliance.


Every blog post you find here is carefully vetted to ensure it's not only informative and transparent but also adheres to current mortgage legislation and business standards. I firmly believe in empowering readers with knowledge, no matter where they are on their mortgage or protection journey, and I hope you find our articles helpful and insightful.
