Happy Birthday Stephen!

Patriotic, half-naked, and not a care in the world - this pretty much sums up Stephen in one photo! With the England game around the corner, who better to get us in the mood than our resident Three Lions superfan flying the flag (quite literally) for England!

Honestly, rain or shine, good times or bad, Stephen’s always got a smile on his face and brings nothing but positive vibes to the team.

Have a brilliant birthday- here’s to another year of unmatched positivity (and questionable fashion choices)!
Come on England!

🏆 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁!

We're absolutely over the moon to share that The Mortgage Dog has been shortlisted for 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 at the 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀' 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 and today we're heading to Manchester for the awards ceremony!
This one genuinely means a lot. The FRA's are voted for by brokers, for brokers, so being recognised by people in the industry is something we're really proud of.
We'll have our best suit on (you've seen the photo🐶👔)

Protection is something we feel really strongly about. Getting a mortgage is a big deal, but making sure you and your family are covered if the worst happens matters just as much. We work hard to make sure every client understands what's available to them, not just the mortgage itself, but the cover that protects it.
Being shortlisted for this award is a lovely nod to that work.
A massive thank you to everyone who has supported us, referred us, and trusted us with your mortgage and protection needs. This is as much yours as it is ours.
Wish us luck! 🧡
