With a love of the outdoors, travel, football and his dog Gem, Stu was well known and loved in our local area. Stu moved into Financial services in the late 70’s and went on to set up The Mortgage Selection Bureau Ltd in 2001.

Kate Finley
Director and Mortgage Adviser
I began my career as a customer service adviser at the age of twenty in a high street bank. I quickly progressed and gained my qualifications to become a mortgage advisor. I went on to become a Branch Manager spending 9 years in that role before venturing out to be a whole of mortgage market adviser with The Mortgage Selection Bureau Ltd in 2013.
I firmly believe that the client comes first and I find deep satisfaction in fully supporting all of my clients throughout the mortgage process, whether they are first time buyers or experienced home owners.
Sandra Pugsley
Mortgage Advisor
Before joining The Mortgage Selection Bureau Ltd over 10 years ago I enjoyed over 25 years in the banking sector.
I began my career in as a cashier and worked my way up through the ranks – Mortgage Manager, Compliance Manager, Branch Manager and Business Development Manager promoting mortgages to brokers, which has given me a good background and understanding about the mortgage market.
Mortgages aren’t just about getting a loan, they facilitate our hopes and dreams and I am very grateful to all those who have trusted me to arrange what is probably the biggest commitment they make, with many coming back to me for further advice as they move or re-mortgage.
Paul Thomas

Before joining The Mortgage Selection Bureau in 1998 I previously worked for the Prudential.
I believe in going the extra mile ensuring my clients are kept up to date and I’m always happy to help with any queries or concerns they may have.
I live in Solihull with my wife and son and enjoy playing tennis and golf in my leisure time.
