Adrian Collins
Director / ConsultantBefore setting up Beechwood in 2001, I began my career with the Prudential in 1993 where I gained my full professional qualifications in 1996.
I then started specialising solely in mortgages and insurance, firstly working as a broker for several large insurance companies and then finally venturing out on my own a few years later.
When I’m not supporting my clients I enjoy keeping fit, cooking and long weekend walks with Sam. (when it’s not raining!)
Samantha Collins
Office ManagerMost of my working history has been within the housing sector, gaining my experience within estate agents dealing in both sales and lettings, a property surveyor’s office and also a major high street building society.
I joined my husband in 2013 to assist in the day to day running of Beechwood. Operating as the Office Manager I will deal with all our administrative duties, which includes regularly contacting the lenders to ensure our clients are kept fully up to date throughout the whole process.
In my spare time I like to keep fit & spend time with our family. I also like to read a good book....or two!
Graham Harris
ConsultantI have been in the industry since 2005, first starting my career with a major high street bank.
I then became a senior adviser at a well respected IFA in Reading, before joining Beechwood in 2013. Living locally, I enjoy working closely with my clients and have built up many long term relationships with existing customers and local businesses alike.
In my spare time I enjoy training at my local gym, supporting Reading football club and socialising with my family and friends.
Nick Waite
ConsultantI have worked both in private practice and for mainstream lenders so have experience on both sides of the ‘lending fence’, gaining full professional and regulatory qualifications along the way.
I joined Adrian in 2010 specifically to take over responsibility for the Buckinghamshire area.
When not with Beechwood I like to spend my spare time with family, watching rugby and playing bass guitar in a group all over the southeast of England.
Simon Martindale
ConsultantI have been advising on mortgages since 2004 with six of those years spent working within a High Street bank. It’s a job I love and enjoy, knowing that I have helped so many people buy their home is very rewarding.
Born and raised in Tilehurst I moved to Cholsey 5 years ago with my family. My two young daughters take up most of my free time, but when I’m not with them I enjoy keeping active by playing squash, running and getting out on my mountain bike.
