Introducing our new adviser: Athena Swift 

My name is Athena, and I am a new adviser with One Roof Financial. I wanted to share a bit about myself and how I got into this industry. 

School years 

During my school years, I frequently changed my mind about my future career. I considered becoming an estate agent, a lawyer, and even joining the army. When it was time to choose a college and a course, I opted for business studies because it offered flexibility for various career paths and I decided to step out of my comfort zone and attend a college away from my hometown. This decision allowed me to meet new people and have a fresh start, which I am now very grateful for. During my final year of college, I was still unsure about my career path. However, after discussions with my family and the college careers team, I decided to study law at university, focusing on property law. 

Work experience 

During my final year of college, I had to complete a week of work experience. As I didn’t live locally to my college, I decided to try and get some help from the careers team. After a couple days they said they had found me some work experience at One Roof Financial, a business specialising in mortgages and protection, just a five-minute walk from my home. Once I had completed the work experience I knew I enjoyed it and could see myself pursuing it as a career. However, I had already been accepted into university for law, so I decided to continue with my studies, even though I was unsure if it was the right path for me. After completing a year at university, I realised it wasn’t what I had expected, and I didn’t enjoy it. The high fees also made me reconsider. Still interested in financial services and thinking back to my work experience, I reached out to Caroline at One Roof Financial to see if there were any job opportunities. Fortunately, she was in need of a protection adviser, and here I am! I’m glad that I made the decision to follow this path.

C W, Hinckley

10 stars for Caroline. She helped us every step of the way with purchasing our first house. She gave us all the information we needed, explained everything to us in layman terms so we understood. Answered all of the questions we have and made everything much easier! We would have been so lost without Caroline and we cannot thank her enough for all the hard work, help and support she gave us! Thank you!

FBW, London

Caroline was great from start to finish. Professional, knowledgeable and very timely with responses and getting all the paperwork sorted – not only for the mortgage, but life insurance, critical illness and all the other things that come with buying a house! I have already recommended her to friends who are looking to move in the new year.

Fantastic service with clear guidance and communication throughout our remortgage process, specifically when the mortgage rates dropped twice within 2 months, One Roof Financial contacted us promptly with a new product reflecting the new price, which saved us money! I would definitely recommend One Roof Financial to friends and family.

SH, Broughton Astley

I’ve been using Caroline since I bought my first house in 2014 and honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. Apart from being just a lovely person through and through, she’s very knowledgeable and helpful in all aspects of the process. Mortgages or insurances. I’m always kept up to date and even reminded about things I forget!
