Greg Elias
Mortgage and Protection Administrator
My role at The Orchard Practice
As a Mortgage and Protection Administrator, I play a key role in supporting our clients through every stage of their mortgage journey. My focus is on keeping clients informed, answering their questions, and ensuring that the process runs smoothly from start to finish.
I find it particularly rewarding when all the elements come together at completion, knowing that I’ve helped guide the process and supported our clients in securing their mortgage and protection in line with their needs.
Before joining The Orchard Practice, I spent over a year as a mortgage broker, gaining hands-on experience working directly with clients to secure the right mortgage and protection solutions for their needs. This experience deepened my understanding of the industry and further fuelled my passion for the financial sector.
Prior to this, I spent nearly 10 years as a teacher, where I developed strong communication, problem-solving, and organisational skills—qualities that continue to benefit me in my current role. My love for maths, combined with an interest in the economy and market trends, led me to complete my CeMAP qualification, enabling a successful transition into financial services.
