£10 for a potato?! 🥔😳

Our daughters have been going on and on about visiting Spud Bros, so today we finally gave in and made the trip 🤦🏼‍♂️

Now, I’ll be honest… when I first heard people were paying nearly £10 for a jacket potato, I thought the world had officially lost the plot. 🤣

It’s a good reminder that people don’t buy based on price alone – they buy based on perceived value, experience and reputation.

You can buy a potato for pennies from the supermarket, but that’s not what people are paying for here.

They’re paying for:
✅ The experience
✅ The brand
✅ The social media buzz
✅ The quality and portion size
✅ Being part of something everyone’s talking about

It’s the same in business. Competing on price alone is a race to the bottom. The businesses that win are the ones that create enough value that people are happy to pay more.

Would I pay £10 for a potato every week? Probably not. 😆

But was it worth seeing what all the fuss was about? Absolutely.

Have you tried Spud Bros yet, or is £10 for a potato a step too far? 🥔👇

Is your fixed mortgage rate ending in the next 3–6 months?
Now could be a good time to secure a new deal before any potential future rate rises.

Sun. Sweat. Long miles. ☀️🏃‍♂️

Running teaches you a lot about life…

The people who cope best usually aren’t the fastest — they’re the most prepared.

Same with finances.

Whether it’s:
🏡 Mortgages
🛡 Life Insurance
💷 Income Protection
📜 Wills & Trusts

…it’s all about protecting the people depending on you.

Now excuse me while I recover from melting in this heat 🥵

“Bank Holiday weather in the North East and somehow Newcastle looks like Marbella for once ☀️😂

Perfect weekend for getting outside, clearing the head and spending time with the people that matter.

I’ll be using it for a few easy miles ahead of Sunday’s race, plenty of water, and probably convincing myself I ‘deserve’ a BBQ and beer afterwards 🍔🍺

Anyone else making the most of the sunshine before normal service resumes? 😎”

“Not all rewards in business are financial 👌”

Little things like this genuinely mean a lot ❤️

A lovely client gifted me these “Pocket Hugs” today after helping them protect their family’s future.

Moments like this remind me why I do what I do. It’s never just about mortgages, life insurance or wills — it’s about helping real people feel secure and looked after.

Very grateful for the support and trust from all my clients 🙌

A memory popped up today from a run with my daughter… and somehow she still manages to leave me for dust on the hills 😂

But moments like this are exactly WHY protection matters to me.

Most people insure phones, holidays and cars without thinking twice…
yet the thing that pays for everything else — your income and your future plans — often gets ignored.

Life insurance and income protection aren’t about being negative.
They’re about making sure the people you care about are still looked after if life suddenly changes.

For me, it’s always been about family, security and peace of mind ❤️

If you’ve got children, a mortgage, or people relying on you, it’s worth checking what protection you already have in place.

This popped up at The Prodigy gig on Saturday👇 🐜

Look after each other
Look after your phones

Be honest…

You’ve probably insured your phone.
But have you protected your income?

👍 = Yes
👀 = Need to sort it
