Neil has spent over 30 years in financial services and knows the mortgage and equity release landscape inside out. Since joining Aspect in 2017, he has built a reputation for making what can feel like a complicated process feel simple and manageable. He holds CERT PFS and CERT CII (MP) qualifications and is a member of the Equity Release Council.

For Neil, this has never been a transactional business. He takes time to understand each client's situation properly before offering any advice, and stays with them through every stage until the job is done. That personal, step-by-step approach is something he has always considered non-negotiable.

Outside work, Neil is a family man through and through. He lives with his partner and their dog, and is a long-standing Everton season ticket holder. He is someone who invests the same commitment in the things that matter to him away from work as he does at his desk, which probably explains why his clients tend to stay with him.
