Intermediary Sales & Marketing

Rachel Pease

The great thing about my role is that it’s so varied - always lots going on to get my teeth into, and I get to indulge my creative side which is great. In my spare time I use any excuse to socialise, from games nights to gin club to a Yorkshire take on Come dine with me. I also like to take advantage of Leeds great theatre shows and travel as much as I possibly can - unlikely to fit in a visit to every country in one lifetime but I can try!

Working for Pure Retirement is like no other company I’ve worked for, it has a great atmosphere and is like one big family. My role involves being the face of Pure in the South, meeting brokers and helping them find solutions for their clients. This role means a lot of driving, so this means when I am not working I enjoy nothing more than putting my feet up watching a bit of reality TV or in the gym running off the alcohol from a night out with my friends. I think my colleagues would describe me as loud, challenging, knowledgeable and dedicated.

Alan Dugdale

I have worked in the equity release sector for 19 years and am very passionate about the industry. I joined Pure in November 2014 - a few months before launch, when there was only a handful of us and it’s been great to see the company flourish and grow into an multi award winning established lender. I very much enjoy the interaction that I have with all customers from the one man bands to large specialist intermediaries and clubs. When not working, I enjoy walking, golfing and am a passionate Burnley FC fan.

Craig Faulkiner

Having worked in the equity release sector for over 8 years, I’m fairly new to Pure Retirement. Previous roles include advising day-to-day on equity release and managing a team of 12 equity release advisors. My new role is Strategic Account manager, which is predominantly office based BDM to our 2 largest accounts. The role is challenging, but varied, no 2 days are the same and the autonomy Pure gives to its staff is very rewarding and is giving me a great insight to a part of the industry I’ve never been involved with. We’re a very colleague orientated business who put its staff and clients at the forefront of everything we do. I think my colleagues would describe me as hard-working, analytical & helpful. Outside of work I enjoy playing football, watching most sports (big Leeds Utd & Rhinos fan), avoiding the gym at all costs and travelling.

I previously worked as a Business Relationship Manager on a national scale for an equity release specialist law firm. I am really excited about joining Pure, the team have a brilliant reputation in the industry and I am keen to build on that and offer a very high level of support to advisors across the ER market. Outside of work I spend a lot time with my horse Tally and enter competitions most weekends in show jumping and cross country jumping. I also like to spend time with my partner Nick and our two Bengal cats Leo and Luna.

Jordan Fudge

Having previously worked for a large Equity Release Intermediary as an apprentice/junior web developer, I moved over to Pure Retirement as I believed it would allow me to further hone my skills that I’d previously developed. There is never a dull moment over here, and everyone is very friendly! Outside of work you can usually find me out with friends, messing around with computers (I’m a bit of a geek) or going on weekend breaks with my Fiancée.

Katie Schofield

Since joining Pure I’ve really enjoyed working within such a friendly, positive and encouraging atmosphere. Everyone here is really friendly and I’m proud to be part of the team. Having previously worked for an Equity release firm, I’m using my previous skills learned to develop the digital journey at Pure Retirement. When I’m not at work you can usually find me chasing after my toddler and my dog Gus, going for long walks with my other mum friends and going on date nights with my husband.

I am super excited to have joined Pure as a relationship manager and excited to be part of a team with such a good reputation and a great culture. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming and make work fun! Outside of work I am most likely to be at the gym, going out for food or boozy brunch, spending time with friends and enjoying one to many G & T’s.

These roles included working within specialised markets such as Legal and Medical across the South West and South East territories. I have vast experience in relationship building that has been primarily face to face with clients.

Nicola Watkins

Working for Pure Retirement is so different to anything I have ever experienced. It’s a great friendly atmosphere and I so glad to be part of the team. I am the Relationship Manager for The North and work alongside the BDM’s. Out of work you will find me spending time with my friends, pulling my hair out with my 13 year old daughter Amy and looking after my cats Ocean and Smudge.

Gareth Ware

Since my arrival I’ve continually witnessed first-hand Pure’s commitment to employee development. With dual backgrounds in retail marketing and music journalism I entered a completely new field yet have always felt I’ve had the autonomy to try new ideas and make the role my own while also having access to all of the necessary tools and support I need, all as part of a wider warm and collaborative culture.

I have recently joined Pure Retirement, but can say I am thoroughly enjoying my time here and look forward to coming in every morning. The office environment is extremely friendly and the team are super easy to get along with. My role within the marketing team is exciting as it varies day to day. When I am not working, you are most likely going to find me with family and friends in different food/drink places as I am a massive FOODIE!

Joanna Jarvis

I’ve joined Pure Retirement after 18 years in the professional finance training sector where I worked as an account manager dealing with corporate clients. I am really excited to be taking the next step in my career in such a rapidly growing sector and with such a fantastic team. Away from the office, I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors with my son and partner and I’m a bit of a closet rock chick.

Robert Ogden

Having studied web in college, it sparked my interest of the particular field. From working at Pure I have not looked back. I have been to develop my skills and interests through the challenges I face on a regular basis. Outside of work you can find me participating in sports such as football. I also have an interest in music which has lead me to attend various music and events.

Rebecca Kirk

I’ve recently joined the Pure Marketing Team, I’m really enjoying it so far and everyone has been very welcoming. My previous roles have been in financial services and marketing so this role at Pure seemed like a great fit. Outside of work I enjoy cooking, following politics, live music and yoga.

Nakita Moss

I have worked in the Financial Services Industry now for over 6 years and I have a vast amount of experience. I am excited to have joined Pure Retirement and have the opportunity to work with fantastic people, not only within my team but across the business. The atmosphere here is like no other, it’s a great place to work. I have joined as a Sales Account Manager and looking forward to contributing to our growth. Outside of work I enjoy socialising and eating out - I love food! I’m always on the lookout for my next travel destination too!

Daniel Edmondson

I am a confident and tenacious graduate sales account manager with an ever-expanding understanding of account management and client expectations. I have just started my journey with Pure in May 2019 and really enjoy the friendly and calming atmosphere. The growth and employee focus of Pure Retirement drew me in and I wanted to be part of such a forward thinking, contemporary company. I can truly say that the culture within is like nothing I have ever experienced. With such an intense focus on training and development I believe Pure has what it takes to continue its dominant position in the equity release market.
