Word of mouth

Lee Howard – Managing Director / Mortgage Advisor – CeMAP – DipFA – CeRER – CertLTCP

 

I started my career in financial services over 20 years ago as a mortgage advisor for countrywide covering Torbay & Plymouth. After receiving numerous awards during my time with the company, the move to become a whole of market advisor was a natural progression and formed, what has now grown into Howard Mortgages, in 2003. I strongly believe in great service and understand the importance of attention to detail.

 

Out of work I enjoy downhill mountain biking and snowboarding, not that I am particularly good at either, but enjoy them just the same!

 

My greatest passion is my family. My wife and fellow director Lisa, have 2 boys Ethan & Blake, who keep us on our toes whether it be out on the scooter and bikes or building lego (it’s for the kids, honestly!)

Adrian Howard – Director

DipFA – CeRER – CertLTCP

 

I came on board as a Director / co-owner with Howard Mortgages in 2015 to aid in the expansion of the business. After seeing some phenomenal growth with the opening of two new offices and the expansion of the team we took the decision to setup our sister company to enable us to offer a full-service advice proposition.

 

I now head up our sister company as MD and advise within the firm on all aspects relating to pensions, investments, estate planning and later life care.

 

I live in Torbay with my family and when I am not enjoying being a dad, I enjoy very much living an outdoor lifestyle.

I’m the Operations Director at Howard Mortgages and I am involved in the day to day running of the office. I have a HND in Business Administration and previously have worked for a variety of companies from Construction, Telecommunications and now Financial Services.

In my spare time I enjoy kayaking when the weather is good. I have also completed the London marathon in April 2018 my first and last marathon. I am looking forward to building a successful career at Howard Mortgages.

Sarah Johnson – Mortgage Administrator

 

I started in Financial Services over 6 years ago, initially as a Mortgage Administrator and General Insurance Advisor for a large corporate following on from a long and successful career within the Sales and Marketing Industry, before joining the team at Howard Mortgages. I love the whole process of helping clients from start to finish on their journey through the Mortgage and Protection arena and nothing beats seeing them achieve the goal of securing their new home. It certainly helps working with such a great team, who are professional but still retain that family-run ethos.

 

At weekends I love nothing more than walking my 2 dogs, Dora and Daisy over the hills of Combeinteignhead where I live with my Fiancée Stuart and two children Sammy and Evie Rose. My other passion is growing my own fruit and veg, especially turning the apples from the apple trees into Cider!

Emma Whitney – Mortgage & Protection Advisor –

CeMAP

 

I have worked in the financial and property industry since 2007, working for two high street banks and also in estate agency, which has given me an invaluable detailed knowledge of the house buying process and the hurdles often presented. I began mortgage advising in 2013, which is my true passion, as I love helping clients realise their dreams and goals. Every day is different, with no one client being the same as the next, which provides a great challenge.

 

In my spare time I like to get out into the countryside with my border collie and enjoy the wonderful nature we have around us. I am a massive formula one fan which takes up many of my weekends as well as the MotoGP.

Jo Wright – Mortgage Administrator

 

Previous to Financial Services, my 20+ year career has been working in compliance for the private & public sector. I decided to take a break from this line of work to be able to work more closely with customers and apply my wide range of skills in a new and fast paced industry. I’m a customer focused person, with an eye for detail and I have a passion for spreadsheets!

Work aside, I enjoy spending time with my husband, family, and friends, I enjoy walking on the Southwest Coast Path and Dartmoor. I also enjoy watching rugby, particularly the Exeter Chiefs and England. At home we have an adorable Maine Coon cat called Bonnie, she rules our household but gives the best cuddles!
