Bea's Biography

Bea began her career in financial services in August 2001, as an underwriter for Chelsea Building Society. In January 2004 she joined Clydesdale Bank as a Mortgage Adviser, and then joined John Charcol in January 2007 as a mortgage consultant.  John Charcol, the sister company of Charcol, provides independent mortgage advice.

Bea’s has been chosen as our mortgage expert due to her excellent reputation both within John Charcol and with her clients through exceptional customer service and management, and first class broking skills. Bea typifies the standards clients can expect from John Charcol.  In the words of one of her clients, “Bea has arranged our transaction and has explained what is happening at every stage of the process.  I am very pleased and impressed with both her approachable, common sense attitude and ability to obtain the best deal on both my properties, securing mortgages that were far better than what I was used to paying.   At every point of contact Bea has been professional and extremely helpful, going above and beyond what would normally be expected.”

Outside of work Bea lives in Richmond with her husband and enjoys reading, painting, good food and great wine.
