Zoë & I set up Clayton Hulme to be able to offer clients a truly personal service. Truly personal is only possible to achieve in a company that you’ve designed & evolved yourself. Our passion, creativity and dedication still drive us, over 18 years on. In our business, our client’s goals are at the heart of everything we do.

Professional experience

I began my career in financial services over 12 years ago around the time of the crash!

I joined The Clayton Hulme Family in 2017, initially as a PA and Administrator to Chris & also undertook the training to become a Mortgage Advisor. I qualified in May 2019 and have thoroughly enjoyed advising clients ever since.

I’m really passionate about bringing the personal touch to family financial planning. I take all of the stress of the mortgage process away from my clients. My clients aren’t just clients, many are friends. I strive to build a great relationship with everyone I work with.

Fun Facts

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with friends and family. Thanks to my partner Kev, over recent years I’ve really embraced walking in the UK and abroad. He really does like to challenge me to some pretty intense routes, but at least there’s the promise of an ice cold beer when we’re done.

  • It was all a fantastic service as we always get from yourselves. Penny explained everything to us, was a great help, and did it all for us. I could not recommend your company highly enough. What impressed us the most was that at a time like we are all going through, how smoothly and successfully it all went. To be honest, nothing can be improved.

  • Tracy has secured a mortgage offer from the TSB bank today after a painstaking application with regard to the lender, they didn’t make it easy for us or Tracy. I am going to be brutally honest … I must say Tracy has been absolutely fantastic, a credit to your business, she has been so informative, made calls and took call out of hours and really went well above and beyond the call of duty. I just want to say thank you for the excellent customer service I have received during the application process. Superb, a business I would highly recommend in the future.
