Miles Wallace
Commercial Director
Ever since I started working, I wanted to provide people with the utmost service. This developed when I helped start my Dad’s business at the age of 16. I quickly realised there are many competitors out there, but very few can provide a service which can be relied on every time, and this is what I wanted to create with The Mortgage Branch.
David Knight
Managing Director
I have been in the Financial Services industry for the past 14 years. Throughout this time I have worked across much of the South of England and held a wide variety of positions that have given me a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of Financial Services.
Dominic Sheahan
Sales & Marketing director
I bring over 20 years experience of working for a variety of mortgage lenders and specialist funders, and that knowledge and those contacts ensure I am well placed to provide advice on the best solution for your lending requirements. I aim to provide clients with simplicity, choice and expertise.
I enjoy helping first-time buyers through their first purchase, to seasoned professional landlords and developers secure finance for their next project and am always available outside the usual 9-5 – if there ever was such a thing.
A lifelong Cheltonian, I enjoy all our beautiful area has to offer and am particularly proud of how we at The Mortgage Branch plant a tree for every mortgage that completes.
I run every day, and weekends with a young family are filled with their sporting activities and entertaining friends.
Adesina Obileye
Mortgage & Protection Advisor
I have been in financial services for just over 15 years working with both investments and mortgages but focused on mortgages for the last 10 years. I have dealt with, and deal with, anything from 1st time buyers, home movers, re-mortgages, Buy to Lets to development finance and equity release. I am a member of the Equity Release Council.
Alan Littlewood
Mortgage advisor
I started my career as an accountant but after some time in this field wanted to have a bit more scope to explore other career opportunities. I moved into the property market and built my own multi property portfolio and also helped other people to build their own successful portfolios over a 4 year period. Having used, and worked with, multiple mortgage brokers I then qualified to become a mortgage broker in 2015 and worked for a large property services group advising clients on mortgages and their protection before joining The Mortgage Branch.
I am passionate about providing the right advice and helping people with their property buying journey whether that be a first time buyer or a seasoned professional landlord.
Jake Aubertin
Mortgage Advisor
I have been working in the Financial Services industry for the past 6 years, the last 4 of which have been as a Mortgage Advisor, helping those from all walks of life secure mortgages on their homes and investment properties.
Ricky Joyce
Mortgage Advisor
I have had a few jobs before finding myself in the financial industry over 7 years ago. I feel this has helped me understand a bit more about where people are coming from and relate to their situation. While I am fully trained in mortgage and equity release advise, my specialty is personal protection – There is a great range of cover, each looking after different aspects of your life and your family’s. Its easy to contact me and talk through your situation to get something personalised to your specific needs.
Outside of work, I have 2 dogs (Waffles & Biscuit) and a long-suffering other half. I enjoy rock, and having been born in New Zealand, an All Blacks fan. I enjoy long walks on the beach and a quite pint in a lovely pub somewhere.
Samantha Etienne
Mortgage & Protection Advisor
I have worked in the financial industry as a Mortgage and Protection advisor for 12 years, predominantly based in estate agents. Working as a broker this has given me the extensive knowledge and experience to provide an excellent and understanding nature for all types of clients and situations.
Sam Lucy
Mortgage & Protection Advisor
I am a Mortgage & Protection broker who likes to run. With two marathons and a handful of half marathons under my belt I’m looking for my next challenge, perhaps a Triathlon or an Ultra marathon
Away from running I support Middlesbrough football club for my sins and love to watch F1. Other than sport I like to book a last-minute city break with particular favourites being Lisbon and Copenhagen.
Jenny Lindoe
Senior Case Manager
I’ve worked in Financial Services since 2001 for a number of different banks, building societies, and mortgage providers as a Mortgage Advisor and as a Manager in which period I obtained my CeMAP qualification. Currently, I work within the team as a Case Manager.
Carys Stubbs
case manager
After working in property law for three years, I joined The Mortgage Branch as a Case Manager in May 2023. I am happy to assist you throughout your application.
Outside of work you can find me doing almost anything artsy or dancing.
Sophie Roberts
Commercial Case Manager
I am new to the financial industry, however with my administration experience and my recently achieved diploma, I wanted a new challenge within a different sector. I have a keen eye for detail, so will make sure all of the numbers add up. Outside of work I enjoy walking, crafting and spending time with family and friends.
A NEW BREED OF INDEPENDENT MORTGAGE BROKERS
Why choose The Mortgage Branch?
At The Mortgage Branch, we’re dedicated to bringing you home. Based in Cheltenham Spa – and working across the UK – we’re a new breed of independent mortgage broker, combining deep sector knowledge with true round-the-clock service and a social conscience. For us, finding you the right mortgage is more than just a box to be ticked. It’s a personal journey that we’ll take alongside you, every step of the way.
Perhaps you’ve struggled to secure a mortgage due to your personal circumstances, or been left frustrated by the rigid one-size-fits-all protocol of the big high street brokers. The Mortgage Branch does things differently.
24/7 personal service
We start with a friendly meeting to understand your individual ambitions, followed by committed 24/7 personal care with consultations to suit you – whether that’s before work, at the weekends, or even on bank holidays.
We go the extra mile
Our team thrives on the challenge of finding mortgages for clients who don’t tick traditional boxes – from self-employed and self-builders to high net worth individuals and holiday lets.
Access to 75+ lenders
Our mortgage brokers hunt far beyond the traditional high street mortgage providers, tapping into our network of 50-plus specialist lenders and finding the mortgage that’s made-to-measure for you.
