Andrew has worked in financial services since 2001, initially working within the National Australia Banking Group for fourteen years, working in a variety of roles around business and private banking. In 2015, he joined Handelsbanken before becoming a Mortgage & Protection Broker in 2019 with Tudor Financial Consultants.
In 2023, Andrew joined the team at Hallcroft to establish the regulated lending side of the business, aiming to complement the existing offering that Hallcroft offers and bring a new dimension to the organisation.
Outside of Hallcroft, Andrew’s kept busy with his family. Being the father of two girls, he maybe doesn’t get to watch as much football as he would like, although being a Barnsley fan, that isn’t always a bad thing!

As a dedicated Mortgage and Protection Broker, I specialise in guiding clients through the complexities of securing their dream homes and safeguarding their financial futures.

With a background in financial services and a strong understanding of the ever-evolving lending landscape, I work closely with clients to assess their needs, identify the best financing options, and secure funding at competitive terms.

I assist businesses and property investors/ developers of all sizes - whether they’re looking to expand, invest in new equipment, improve cash flow, fund a strategic acquisition, invest in property or develop both residential or commercial property. My network of lenders, combined with an in-depth knowledge of financial products, enables me to offer tailored solutions that align with each client’s unique goals.

Having left school aged 19 to join a small accountancy firm in Pontefract, I started studying towards an AAT qualification.

As well as being a Chartered Accountant I have many other job titles thanks to my two children.

Claire Thompson

Chartered Insurance Broker
Acrisure - clthompson@acrisure.com

I have worked in and around financial services for a number of years, initially in recruitment, where I worked with financial planners and other professionals to place them with leading advice businesses. During this period, i quickly realised that I saw a future as an adviser myself, so I went out and studied for the Diploma for Financial Advisers, sometime revising for exams on the bus to work. Fast forward some years later and I am able to apply that same passion for helping people to an incredible rewarding career in Wealth Management.
I Feel that my approach is very people based in that I try to understand my clients’ motivations and goals in depth, as well as their background and understanding of their finances. This makes coming up with a financial plan much easier as I am able to tailor all of my work for them, to their specific circumstances. There is no “one size fits all”.
