Sandy’s Interests and Hobbies: “As the children have now flown the nest, my time is spent on the motorway visiting them both! They can’t get away that easily
Other than that, I enjoy fitness and attend the gym regularly, although it isn’t very apparent as I also enjoy cooking and lovely food!
I support various charities and have become a member of the Local Lions club. I set up a ‘Warm Hub’ with the support of the Lions last November and have continued meeting with attendees during the spring and summer months. I plan on restarting the Hub again during the winter months.”
Fun Fact: “I once arranged a giant conga around Brueton Park to raise money for Live Aid (yes, I am that old!)”

“Acclaimed Mortgage Consultancy and especially Sandy stepped in to help us after a terrible experience with another company. From day one they have been incredibly supportive, informative and enormously thorough and professional and we now happily have the mortgage offer we didn’t think we would ever get. Highly and confidently recommended to everyone.”
“My Mother required some equity release to help me and my brother through some uncertain times. Sandy really was everything one could hope for in this situation, her knowledge of the market as well as her ability to help my elderly non-financial minded mother understand the process was outstanding.”
“I would strongly recommend Acclaimed Mortgage Consultancy, but my experience has been with Sandy and I would advise anyone to ask for her initially. She has been superb all the time and the friendliness and professionalism has been second to none. I was so nervous dealing with something like this and she instilled confidence in me right from the beginning. Thank you Sandy”
