Omega’s continued support and understanding of the mortgage broker market made the decision to take their offer an easy one. The company already has an excellent reputation in the commercial and bridging space and it’s a fantastic chance to expand these standards into the secured loan market, a chance I shall certainly relish.

He is in my opinion one of the best around in this role and, having worked with him previously for more years than I’d care to admit, I know he shares my views on providing service levels that are above and beyond.”
