How Jamie
Founded
Chetwood Lloyd Mortgages
Jamie started out at Halifax as a mortgage underwriter, learning what lenders really look for when deciding on an application.
While working full-time, he studied for his Financial Planning Certificates — setting the foundations for a career built on continual learning. From his first role as a mortgage adviser with Legal & General, to helping grow a practice alongside Zurich, each step added to his knowledge and experience.
At 26, Jamie set up his first business, First Rate Mortgage Solutions. But it didn’t take long to realise the name didn’t truly reflect what he stood for. That’s when Chetwood Lloyd Mortgages was born — named after his grandmother and mother, two strong, independent women who shaped the values he brings to the business today.
