About Us

 

Our Story

Offering friendly, knowledgeable mortgage advice & insurance advice

We love our local area and the local people we serve. Living in the local area we have our finger to the pulse when it comes to the property market and we feel that it really allows us to give the best mortgage advice in Stanley and the surrounding areas.

Offering personal, tailored mortgage advice, we realise that no two customer’s needs are exactly the same, therefore no two mortgage appointments should ever be the same.

We spend time getting to know you, your situation and what’s important to you when it comes to choosing your next mortgage or protection products.

At MCM we have access to an extremely diverse and comprehensive set of mortgage lenders, which means we are able to present you with the most suitable mortgage product when searching for you.

 Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, trying to save money on your monthly mortgage payment or have a generic question surrounding mortgages then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Meet The Team

Liam set the business up in 2016 after spending 10yrs at Halifax. During that time he progressed through the ranks up to fully qualified mortgage adviser status.

Setting up the business from the corner of the bedroom, then moving to a shared office facility and renting 2 offices, and up to this point where MCM Advice Ltd own the building they call MCM HQ.

Liam prides himself on customer service. The company slogan is “Proper, honest advice”

At the ages of 18 and 24. Liam had massive tragedy in his life. His father passed away from an aggressive cancer not long after he had cancelled a life insurance policy (Paul was 52). He also lost his brother in a tragic accident when Stephen was only 36. Stephen believed that he was young enough and “didn’t necessarily need any cover at that age”

This is why Liam talks so passionately about protection to all of his clients whatever their age. He has seen the financial worry that families go through at first hand after losing a loved one.

Liam enjoyed playing football before moving in to coaching kids. In that phase of personal development he gained the Level 1 & 2 FA Badge in Coaching Football, and Level 1 in Coaching Goalkeepers.

In his spare time he loves anything to do with playing and watching football – mostly with his sons but Newcastle United are a close second (whatever form they’re in)

In the past, he has done a bit boxing on the white collar circuit. 1 Loss then 1 Win which is when the gloves got hung up.

Liam loves helping people and takes great reward from helping clients achieve their dreams of owning their own home.

Liam would like to talk to anyone that shares the same beliefs and interests and is passionate about what they do.

Donna is Office Manager here at MCM Advice, joining the business in 2018, alongside husband Liam.

Prior to joining Liam at MCM, Donna spent 15 years working in the retail sector, progressing onto management roles. Throughout her career, she has taken pleasure in building friendly relationships with customers and clients and has always been very confident and proud to provide exceptional service, help and advice. She now provides support to the advisers here at MCM ensuring the office runs smoothly.

Donna and Liam have two sons, Joe & Olly, who love football, which is where they spend their spare time, mainly playing or watching NUFC.

Emily has been with us since September 2018.  She joined us after spending 25 years working with Halifax having worked up from typing letters to mortgage admin to mortgage underwriting and to eventually becoming a mortgage adviser in 2004.

She advised on mortgages both in the Bank branches and with Halifax Estate Agents when they were part of the Halifax Group as well.

When not working, Em likes to spend time at the gym. When not dashing about doing something or other for her grown up children, she loves to read. A lot. Really a lot!

Leanne joined us in 2021, after working for Halifax as a mortgage adviser within their estate agency and banks across the north east since 2001.

Leanne loved helping customers throughout her time with bank but was excited to start a new chapter in advising with MCM and having the ability to advise on a much bigger product range. Leanne is married with one young son so much of her spare time is quality family time as well as enjoying socialising with friends.

Gemma joined our admin team here at MCM Advice in November 2023. Gemma brings first class customer service to the team after 22 years at Barclays Bank as a Customer Advisor. Alongside this she offers support to our brokers ensuring our client’s journeys run smoothly and stress free.

The Local Mortgage Advisor

We love the local area that much we had a local artist from Stanley come in and paint some of the local landmarks in our office.

It’s something we’re extremely proud of and if you visit the office you’ll see how inspiring these pieces are!
