Barry Clark
Mortgage & Protection Advisor
Barry has worked in property since leaving university in 2002 and in financial services for the last 14 years. Barry has a relaxed demeanour and feedback from clients say that he makes the mortgage and buying process easy and understandable. Outside of work, it’s all about Family, with three children he doesn’t get much spare time but when he does he likes to play with anything with an engine and has an interest in classic cars and motor racing. Past fundraising has included cycling, a parachute jump, a European road trip and running away from charging bulls in the Pamplona Bull Run.
Mike Nankivell
Mortgage & Protection Advisor
Mike has been a great addition to the team, he’s gaining tons of valuable experience and sorting all types of mortgages and protection. He’s always upbeat and takes the time to really explain all the questions a client may have.  Outside of work Mike is keen on two main things – Football (Long term Spurs sufferer) and all things fast and BMW. Being a true petrolhead, he regularly attends shows, track days and car meets. Mike is passionate about charity and supports the Rooprai Spinal Trust. Mike has tried to kill Barry! Almost 10 years ago he drove him off a cliff (Thelma & Louise style) in the Italian Alps near the Swiss border, it’s all OK though as he landed it in a tree – very skilled driving! No-one was hurt thankfully and someone in the Alps has a highly unusual Lexus tree house!
Leonie Grieg
Mortgage Administrator & Trainee Broker
Leonie has been in financial services for over 6 years and started on an apprenticeship scheme. She’s a key member of the team and without her the admin side would fall apart!  Clients love her as she hand holds them through their journey to mortgage offer. She also assists the team on gliding through paperwork, mortgage submissions, compliance and is the most organised member of the MM team. Sometimes she needs help getting the rest of the team (mainly Barry) organised which isn’t too hard as she’s the most feared team member - the brokers are a bit scared of her!  Outside of work she’s a busy Mum, loves a bit of trashy TV, the odd beauty treatment and likes socialising with friends! We’ve also learnt the hard way that she can outdrink the rest of the team!
Grant Daines
Mortgage & Protection Advisor
Grant's been with Mortgage Monster for about 18 months now. He comes from a background in the technology sector working with in both B2B and B2C roles. He built up a business which he sold.  Grant wanted a new challenge so chose to move into financial services. He brings with him a wealth of customer journey experience, he’s meticulous, approachable and willing to go the extra mile to put the needs of the clients first.  In his spare time Grant is a keen DIYer, rugby fan, car and motorsport enthusiast and busy Dad.

She is brilliant in assisting clients with getting their mortgages offered, negotiating underwriters, surveyors, solicitors right through to exchange and completion of their property promptly and efficiently. Outside of work, Sarah’s priority is her family. She is a proud mother to a couple of energetic kids who keep her very busy being Taxi to tons of different clubs! She’s a family Hide & Seek champion, the children usually find her hiding from them with a large glass of wine!
