Phillip Clark

We are very proud of the fact that our MD, Phil Clark, set up the business 14 years ago this week. The Group includes, Bristol, Bath and Exeter Mortgages Online with Bristol being the largest business.

As many of you are no doubt aware, Phil is passionate about being an independent Mortgage Broker and has exceptional knowledge of the mortgage and protection market. Not only has he the knowledge from being a whole-of-market Adviser, but also has excellent relationships with so many specialist lenders that only deal with intermediaries like us.

Over the years, the business has grown and adapted to the changing market. Over the past two years during the pandemic, we operated all the way through the various lockdowns by using Zoom for consultations. Because this was so popular, many of our initial consultations are still carried out this way.

We are very excited to announce that we will shortly be introducing a new online facility, which will be a great benefit to clients when dealing with their application. More news to follow very soon…
