Life Before McCrea Financial Services?

Prior to joining McCrea, I have over 17 years’ experience in financial services with the last 14 years specialising in mortgage and protection, I have worked with First Direct, Nationwide and Mortgage Advice Bureau and the experience I have built up allows me to find the best tailored solutions for client’s specific circumstances.

Why I Enjoy Working at McCrea

One of the aspects that I enjoy working for McCrea is working for a company who help clients with their financial future by looking at the full picture and not just their mortgage or retirement plans in isolation. I feel this allows much deeper relationships to be forged. I am delighted to be part of a company who are able to provide different services under one roof and help continue to build the reputation with the help and advice the mortgage team can offer.

What is the Most Important Thing For You When it Comes to Clients?

Everybody comes with an individual set of circumstances and I particularly enjoy getting to know clients in order to tailor advice and recommendations to suit their specific needs and circumstances.

It’s also very important in my job to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible for the client and take the stress out of getting a mortgage in place!

Outside the Office?  

Outside work I enjoy spending time with my partner.  I also love travel however, as this has been put on the backburner recently, I am looking forward to us all returning to normality and the opportunity to explore further afield once again.

Fun Fact

I love watching and playing American football - I play for the Clyde Valley Blackhawks and support the Minnesota Vikings.
