James Akers
There’s not much James hasn’t been involved with in the financial world. Right from the off, he made sure that he got to know the ins and outs of this complex industry, even gaining a placement during his university days, working for an offshore life insurance company, dealing with investment brokers across the world. James also found the time to work part-time as a customer services representative for a financial services company. As a fresh-faced graduate, he returned to his roots in Nottingham and over the years scaled the career ladder at a national estate agency, gaining a Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice awarded by The London Institute of Banking & Finance. After becoming a fully-fledged mortgage advisor, James moved to a firm of independent mortgage brokers in Bingham where he spent 8 years gaining an enviable reputation along his journey. In 2020 he then founded Akers Pritchett Mortgage and Protection Advisors with his friend and colleague Steve Pritchett.
James loves helping people, whether it’s getting them on to the property ladder, moving into a new dream home or achieving financial security. He’s a big fan of operating a friendly, relaxed working environment, while keeping totally focused on his clients’ needs and ambitions.
When not in the office, James and his wife Jess have a ten-year-old and seven-year-old at home to keep them busy! When time permits, James is a big sports fan, especially motorsport.
