Featured In the Times as one of the countries most recommended advisors as a recognition of the strength of my reviews. I have 35 years experience in the financial sector and offer a free initial consultations on all things financial. I am an expert in mortgages and protection covering the whole of the market to get you the best deals. My company My Finance Friend prides itself on customer feedback and offering advice in a clear and concise way that is easily understood. We are able to deal with any clients across the UK via phone and e mail. We have an office in Derby with free parking if you wish to meet face to face. As a director for one of the major high street banks, I became disillusioned with the sales practices and ethics involved in financial advice. In addition, the personal touch is something that is talked about by many but achieved by few. The market today still places too much emphasis on targets and commissions which does not put the customer at the heart of what is needed. Quite simply, people need professional, consistent and clear advice where the focus is truly on them and not on the products for sale.
