Biography
I have worked at Saffron for over 6 years. In my time with the Society, I’ve worked across most parts of our award-winning mortgage operation, so if there’s anything I can’t help with I always know the right person who can.
I get a real buzz out of finding solutions for our brokers – I was previously a mortgage broker myself, so I think I understand what brokers want and need from a specialist lender like Saffron. Understanding both sides only increases my passion to improve the broker experience through brilliant service and strong relationships.
When I’m not working, I enjoy walking my two dogs in the Suffolk countryside.
Biography
I joined Saffron in August 2023 following 5 years in the mortgage industry with another lender and my current role as TBDM is most certainly my favourite by far.
I am really passionate about providing amazing service wherever and whenever I can to our brokers and I thrive off of finding solutions to tricky scenarios and hard to place cases.
Coming from another lender to Saffron, I can really see how much effort goes in to getting brokers and clients what they want and deserve, and I am very proud to be a part of such an amazing company and even better team.
In my spare time you’ll often find me stuffing my face with seafood, in a garden centre buying more plants than I have room for or at a music festival/gig.
Biography
I joined Saffron back in 2014 and have done a variety of different roles since joining the Society. I have been with the Business Development team for two years and this is by far my favourite role.
Talking to brokers and hearing about their quirky cases is what I enjoy the most! I pride myself on giving excellent customer service – supporting our brokers in any way I can. I know that each case is different, and I always take a personalised approach to every situation I encounter.
In my spare time I’ll either be cooking up a storm for friends and family or exploring a new city.
Biography
I have worked at Saffron since 2017. I pride myself on standout service and love discussing complex cases.
My number one priority is getting great outcomes for our brokers and in turn their clients. Since I support so many different brokers, throughout London and the South-East, no one day is the same. The challenges, and opportunities are always so varied - one day I’m helping support a seasoned homeowner application, the next day a broker’s clients who felt homebuying was out of reach.
When I am not supporting brokers, I like to spend time with loved ones and exploring new places.
Biography
I joined the team in 2022. I am originally from Philadelphia in the US, and I have worked in financial services for decades across a variety of different roles.
My experience working at other Building Societies has given me a deep understanding of what the mutual sector can offer brokers in terms of flexible criteria and common-sense underwriting.
When I am not talking to brokers at work, I enjoy weight training, walking in the Yorkshire Dales, and singing in a heavy metal cover band at venues across the North.
Biography
I joined the team in 2022. My entire career has been in the financial services industry, including roles as a Personal Banker, Mortgage Broker, Sales Manager and Business Development Leader.
There is nothing I love better than working with brokers on their trickiest cases and I am very proud of the great feedback I’ve had from brokers in the Southern region. The great thing about Saffron is we are really empowered to help our brokers – we apply as much flexibility and common-sense as we can.
When I’m not working, I love to spend time with my family. There’s always a lot going on with my two young children around, plenty of opportunities for my embarrassing dad jokes.
Biography
I have worked at Saffron since June 2022. I have been in the mortgage industry for 21 years. I started my career as a Team Assistant at a mortgage company, worked my way up from there and I have been in the industry ever since.
I came to Saffron after 17 years in my last job and I absolutely love my role as a BDM. I feel like the job was made for me as I am really outgoing and thrive off meeting new brokers whilst maintaining and strengthening relationships with my current ones.
When I am not talking mortgages, I love taking my Shih Tzu Minnie on country walks - even better if there are dog friendly pubs along the way!
Biography
I have worked at Saffron for over 10 years. I am very lucky to be able to support brokers in London and the South East.
I like to find solutions for our brokers and help them find the right Saffron products for their clients.
When I am not working with our brokers you can find me working on my handicap on the golf course or spending time with my wife and son.
