A new female-led mortgage advice firm, Heath Mortgage Solutions, has been launched.
The business has been set up by experienced mortgage broker Heather Greatorex (pictured above, left), with protection advice specialists Heath Protection Solutions becoming shareholders, taking a 20% stake in the business.
Based in London, Heath Mortgage Solutions has a small team that will provide specialist mortgage advice covering both BTL investors and residential homebuyers.
Heath Protection Solutions has been giving protection advice since 2014 and its managing director Naomi Greatorex (pictured above, right) will be supporting Heather in running the business.
Heather commented: “This is a huge milestone, and I’m thrilled to bring Heath Mortgage Solutions to the market.
“What makes this journey even more special is that I’m launching this business with my mum by my side.
“She’s been in the financial services industry for 25 years and has experience of owning her own business for over 10 years, so combining her experience with my fresh perspective is such an exciting pairing.
“This journey isn’t just about starting a mortgage company, it’s about building something together as two women from two generations, showing that family, trust and female leadership can be at the heart of this industry.”
Heather started her career in 2018 with an administrative role at LDN Finance, later progressing to an advisory position and eventually a management role.
Naomi said: “I am really excited to be able to support Heather in launching her new mortgage brokerage business.
“I established Heath Protection Solutions in 2014, and I am looking forward to seeing how Heath Mortgage Solutions can help support more clients to access quality whole-of-market mortgage advice.
“While we will be working together, as I have a share in the business, they will remain two separate businesses.
“The investment forms part of Heath Protection Solutions’ wider growth strategy, having recently launched with a number of new partners, including Norton Insurance Brokers.
“We believe through working together we can bridge the advice gap.”
Greg Cunnington, head of strategic accounts at Legal & General, added: “Having had the pleasure of working with Heather previously, it is great to see the launch of her new business.
“There is a real need to ensure the mortgage market continues to encourage young talent to join, with a real need for quality advisers wanting to build a career in this industry.
“I know Heather will endorse this in the coming years and will be a superb role model.”
