Mike Jones - Mortgage Expert

Sadly our friend and colleague Mike Jones passed away at the end of 2019 following a short battle with cancer. Mike had been a Mortgage Adviser and much valued member of the team here at Zebra for nearly 9 years and in that time had helped hundreds of people achieve their dreams, especially those with past financial problems. Mike will be deeply missed by us all here at CCJ Mortgage Expert and by his clients, family and friends.

Carol Hare - Mortgage & Protection Administrator

Carol has worked for us for many years (almost part of the furniture, some say!), the back bone of the company! She is the force that keeps us all in check.

Sophie Smith - Mortgage & Protection Administrator

Sophie is the youngest member of the team, covering Andrew and Darryl’s mortgage administration, she certainly keeps these 2 in check!
