leading Mortgage and Insurance brokerages in the South West, catering for a large and
diverse database of customers located in Somerset, Devon and Dorset. Eighty five per cent of its revenue comes from the sale of mortgage and life assurance products with a further fifteen percent being generated by investment advice.
