Welcome to the South West community introductions thread. This is a new space for people in the local area to come in, say hello and let everyone know what their hopes and goals are from their time on UK Business Forums.

Feel free to introduce yourself here and make others feel welcome :) If you know someone in your area who may benefit from joining in, be sure to let them know about us as well.

While you're welcome to let people know what you're working on and a bit of background, please avoid anything that could come across as a sales pitch and, even if you're an established member, please don't link to your business here. The idea is to give people a chance to get to know each other and what's going on in their region.

Thanks!

Hi from Cirencester! I'm fairly new to this forum and encouraged to join by another member who has made some great business relationships through it! I spend far too much of my time sitting under the window at my desk writing, blogging, social media, SEO, websites, PR and Marketing and telesales so would be great to get chatting to people in my area and hopefully meet up at events!

Hi all.. I have just signed up to this forum as it looks like a good place to bend a few ears & hopefully build a few bridges. I will be specifically interested in advice on opportunities and avoiding potential pitfalls.

Just a little of me then. As the title alludes to, I have just this week passed my final Cemap - which I am very happy about, of course. Additionally, I will register for the Equity Release add-on, and I'll explain why in a moment.

I have a strong background in Sales. I started out selling general insurance products for a large insurance company, progressing to medical insurance and it was then that I decided I would like to be a mortgage broker as the subject has more breadth & depth. I knew I wanted to sell stuff and that I was pretty good at it but insurance on its own was a bit boring really.

Anyway, I made a start towards a transition to the world of mortgages by taking a job selling Conveyancing at a fairly large Property Solicitors with UK coverage. It was here that I picked up the jargon and got a real - warts n' all - view of the market. Okay it was not an holistic view but it certainly helped underpin my interest and knowledge. Especially as I talked to many brokers along the way.

And here I am now with the full Cemap under my belt and looking for any advice that could benefit me. I should say briefly, that the company where I worked selling insurance was Saga which serves the over fifties which is why I am doing the Equity release unit. I am just building on foundations and who knows where it will take me.

I now live in Chippenham Wilts, and am currently a self-employed legal representative.

I am looking for genuine self-employed opportunities as a Mortgage advisor.

So thanks for your time and please share your views and I look forward to hearing them..

Michael :rolleyes:
