Chris Flowers
Hi I’m Chris, and I’m the head of intermediary sales at Pure Retirement. I have worked in the financial services industry since 2005, including working in equity release since 2011. I have previously been a successful Equity Release Adviser at Age Partnership and moved to Pure Retirement in 2014 where I have helped the organisation become an award-winning equity release market lender.

Hattie Tales
Hi I’m Hattie and I’m your National Account Manager at Pure Retirement. Before joining Pure in 2017 I worked for an equity release specialist law firm, giving me a really rounded knowledge of the equity release process. I have been in Business Development since 2013 and within the equity release since 2015. Since joining the sector I have been nominated for Best BDM at the Mortgage Solutions Equity Release awards twice and for the Financial Reporter Women’s Recognition Awards twice also. I live in Cheltenham, and I cover the whole of the UK in my Role as National Account Manager. I spend my time mainly on the road supporting my team of BDMs, attending face to face meetings and events with key accounts, networks and mortgage clubs as well as using video technology to keep in touch when times are busy. I have built my reputation by always being available and bringing new ideas to broker education, innovation and support and not being afraid to think outside the box to create an impact.

Jane Forshaw
Hi, I’m Jane, your Southern Business Development Manager at Pure Retirement. Living in Southampton puts me right in the middle of my patch and spending time out on the road whether in Cornwall or Kent – no journey is too long! Being field based means that face to face appointments with my advisers are always a priority, but being able to stay in touch through Zoom calls is an efficient way to keep in touch when times are busy. I have considerable experience working in the financial services industry within specialised markets such as legal and medical and additionally throughout this time, I worked in business development and PR consultant roles across the South East and the South West. I have been a BDM within the equity release industry since 2018 and I love working closely with my advisers and meeting new advisers to welcome them into an industry that is continuing to grow and innovate.

I always strive to achieve the best outcome for my advisers, and I have extensive knowledge of our underwriting and post completion processes from my time on those respective teams at Pure. I look after the North of England, all of Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as taking care of Responsible Life. I communicate mainly over the phone and can be reached directly. If I am not available please leave me a message so I can get back to you. During the lockdown period I have become increasingly reliant on meeting over Zoom/Teams.

Hi I’m Anna, the Central Business Development Manager for Pure Retirement. I cover the middle band of the country, from Southend-on-Sea across to Wales and up to Doncaster and Sheffield. I have been in financial services since 2012 and advising since 2014.

I’ve loved working as an adviser and the ability to help clients in a variety of different situations achieve their goals. The same reasons bought me to Pure Retirement, a company offering fantastic service and a bespoke approach to broker relationships is an exciting opportunity for me, especially having seen the process from a broker’s perspective.
