Spent far longer than I should have done turning the Moneymates team into World Cup stickers this morning! ⚽

So, for anyone who doesn’t know who’s who…

Lee Pollard - Protection Adviser. The bloke who spends his days making sure families aren’t left financially exposed if life throws them a curveball.

Harrie Dell - Mortgage Adviser. If there’s a mortgage problem to solve, chances are Harrie’s already seen it before.

Taryn Selway-Joseph - Mortgage Adviser. Helps clients navigate everything from first homes to remortgages, without the jargon.

Milly Perryman - Apprentice/Office Manager. Learning the ropes across the business and keeping us all feeling old in the process.

Kris Perryman - Founder. Passionate about protection, financial education and building a business that genuinely helps people make better financial decisions. Usually found working on the next idea before the last one has finished.

Thought these looked pretty cool, so figured I’d share them.

So… Who’s got the best card?

Absolutely buzzing to share that Moneymates has been shortlisted for Best Small Protection Advice Firm at the UK Health & Protection Awards 2026! 🏆

To be recognised on a national stage in such a short space of time means a huge amount to us.

When we launched Moneymates, the goal was simple. Do right by people. Make financial advice easy to understand. Put clients before targets. Help families protect what matters most.

This nomination isn’t down to one person. It’s down to an incredible team who turn up every day and genuinely care about the people we help.

Massive thank you to:

💜 Lee Pollard - for the passion, commitment and the difference you make to clients every single day.

💜 Taryn - for everything you do behind the scenes and the impact you have on our client journey.

💜 Harrie Dell - for helping build Moneymates from day one, sharing the vision, and always putting clients first.

💜 Milly - for keeping us organised and supporting the business in so many ways.

💜 Jessica Barker - my fiancée, biggest supporter and often the voice of reason when things get hectic.

💜 New Leaf Distribution - for the support, guidance and partnership you’ve provided since day one.

Most importantly, thank you to every single client who has trusted us to help them with their mortgage and protection needs. Without you, none of this happens.

We’ve got everything crossed for October 🤞

No matter what happens, we’re incredibly proud to be finalists.

You didn’t use protection. Now you need some. 😅

Look, we’re not here to judge. But if you’ve got a kid, a mortgage, and nothing in place — that’s worth fixing.

No sick pay. No employer backing you up. Just you, your family, and a very uncomfortable conversation if you can’t work.

We build protection around your life. Your income, your family, your situation. Bespoke advice — not a one-size-fits-all policy off a shelf.

Drop us a message and let’s have a proper chat. 💜

“You need 3 years of accounts to get a mortgage when you are self-employed.”

This myth stops good people from even trying.

Some lenders go from just 1 year of trading. Some average your best years. Some look at your day rate.

If you started a company or changed how you trade recently, you are not automatically stuck. You just need someone who knows where to look.

CIS workers — save this.

Most banks do not know how to handle your income. Specialist lenders do. And we know which ones.

Gross CIS income. 2 years payslips. Some from just 12 months.

The bank saying no is not the final answer.

Comment or DM and we will go from there.
