My mission is to use my 20 years’ experience in mortgages, lead generation and fintech to build something that lasts in these sectors and changes them for the better.
After earning my CeMAP and CeRER and working as a mortgage adviser for a few years, I realised that the industry could use some improvement, specifically with customer journeys and compliance. I knew the best way to protect customers more effectively was to build better infrastructure and systems. This is a vision my close friend and fellow mortgage broker, John Tarazi, shared, so we launched a mortgage brokerage together with this as a core value.
All of my businesses are engineered from the ground up to respect consumer safety and strict regulatory standards.
Founded by myself and John Tarazi back in 2012, Echo Finance is a whole-of-market, directly authorised mortgage brokerage based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, and is now home to more than 70 mortgage brokers, equity release specialists and financial advisers.
LeadCrowd is one of the UK’s biggest providers of qualified leads for UK mortgage brokers, IFAs and other financial services professionals. Founded in 2017, the platform is supported by a vast network of PPC and organic lead gen websites - including our flagship consumer-facing site Money Helpdesk - as well as lead providers.
BrokerBricks is a customisable tech stack for mortgage advisers that includes a free criteria search tool, the first of its kind in the mortgage industry. It is a modular platform that brokers can use to build a personalised toolkit comprised of other free and premium tools.
The consumer-facing brand I co-founded in 2021, taking clear, jargon-free mortgage guidance straight to the people who need it - and connecting them with real advisers.
Xcho is best described as a lead engagement platform.
EchoSwap is the world’s first walletless crypto swapping service.
Echo Partners is a mortgage broker network that I am launching in early 2027.
WikiBets is a comparison service for online betting that people can use to find the best odds and offers across the length and breadth of the online gambling world.
Colour is borrowed from each venture's own brand. EchoSwap and Echo Partners and WikiBets have no brand yet, so they stay neutral.
Each venture makes the next one work harder.
All of the businesses I’ve founded are collaborations with innovators and creative minds in finance and fintech and I’m always open to talking business with likeminded individuals. Get in touch below if you would like to know more about any of my projects, or better yet, if you think there is the potential for us to work together.
