30 Years Of Local Knowledge On Your Doorstep

Sept. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- When Vision South West decided to add mortgages to their existing financial solutions portfolio, they looked for people who could bring not only skills to the team, but in-depth local knowledge that would benefit their clients. Local lady, Joanne Brown fitted those criteria perfectly. Jo has been in financial services for most of her working life and now specialises in mortgages.

“I joined Vision SW because I could see that they shared the same values around customer service that I held. But, the deciding factor was that they are not tied in any way to one mortgage provider, which means I can offer the best deals available to my clients. Many people do not realise when speaking to mortgage brokers that they can be restricted in who they can recommend, I didn’t want that restriction; it is really important to me that the client gets what they need, not just what I can provide.

“We can also offer the whole service from lending to insurances, to life cover; so much simpler for the client than having to juggle with multiple companies,” added Jo.

The second new addition to the company will be a well-known face to many in Wellington and Taunton: Andrew Govier. Andrew has been serving as a local councillor for Wellington, Taunton and Somerset for 22 years now and held Mayoral positions within Taunton during 2003-4 and in Wellington in 2010-11.

Needless to say, Andrew brings extensive knowledge of the area.

“Many people will have opted for fixed rate mortgages at the beginning of the recession to safeguard their outgoings and may be coming to the end of their protected term. We would urge anyone facing that potential difficulty to come and speak to us. Being totally independent, we may well be able to find you better deals than the ones you are on – AND we don’t charge for advice as some do. Our advice is totally free and holds no obligation,” said Andrew.

Mike Rogers, Vision SW Director, commented on the appointments: “With the decline in the service being provided by other financial institutions, Vision South West are looking to expand by acquiring individuals with the same service ethos. We really want to be seen as making a difference. With the significant changes in the industry, we are looking to continue to provide something that stands above our peers and allows individuals and businesses meet their goals. In Joanne and Andrew we have made two key appointments, which will allow the business to expand in our key markets of investments, pensions and mortgages.
