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. He even got a placement during his early university days, working for an offshore life insurance company, dealing with investment brokers across the world. James also found the time to squeeze in a part-time roll as a customer services representative for a financial services company. Then, as a fresh-faced graduate, he returned to his roots in Nottingham and over the years scaled the career ladder from a trainee at a national estate agency gaining a Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice awarded by The London Institute of Banking & Finance becoming a fully-fledged mortgage advisor then moving to a firm of independent mortgage brokers in Bingham where he spent 8 years gaining an enviable reputation along his journey, later founded Akers Pritchett mortgage and protection advisors with his friend and colleague Steve Pritchett.
James just 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 focussed on his clients’ needs and ambitions.
When not in the office, James and his wife Jess have a four-year-old and seven-year-old at home to keep them busy! And when time permits, James is a big sports fan, especially motorsport. All-in-all, James loves life in the fast lane.
