I joined Pure in June 2014 and feel very lucky to have witnessed and been involved in the vast growth of the company. The values and culture that have been embedded are what makes Pure such an enjoyable environment to work in. I love how varied my role can be and really enjoy tackling new challenges that come my way. I have a fantastic department to run with individuals who make my time at Pure even more enjoyable. I thrive on supporting others in achieving their goals, it really is a fantastic feeling! Outside of work I enjoy exploring the world and spending time with my friends and family.

I joined Pure Retirement back in 2017 starting as a Mortgage Processor. Since then I have progressed to a Senior Processor and am now currently enjoying the role of Mortgage Administration Team Manager. The support and progression at Pure Retirement is amazing and I am really grateful for the opportunities I have been given. I love coming into work and being a part of such an amazing, family feel environment where everyone supports each other a takes pride in following the pure values. Outside of work you will find me out with friends, at the gym or searching for my next holiday!

I really enjoy my role – no day is the same and it is nice to be given independence choosing which task you take next and working in such a friendly team. In my spare time I’m usually walking my two rescue dogs Pateley & Norman, shopping or looking at holidays!

Having graduated in 2014 I started working in insurance and I joined Pure Retirement in January 2018. Being part of a team & business that embodies the company values is refreshing. Outside of work I am a full time pet mum who spoils Franco, Ernie & Jesse 100%.

I started at Pure in May 2015 and thoroughly enjoy it. The company gives you the ability to interact with lots of positive polite and friendly people in clients brokers and colleagues. Working for Pure gives you the flexibility to do different tasks every day which makes every day interesting whilst keeping Pure’s values at its core. Out of the office you will find me visiting many attractions such as the Yorkshire Sculpture park & Yorkshire wildlife park as I enjoy been outdoors.

I started working for a Mortgage Distributer in 2003, where I obtained the recognised CeMap paper for Mortgages and I have spent the last year working for a local Mortgage Broker. Outside of work, I like to visit the gym, practice yoga and spend time with family & friends.

My decision to come to Pure has most definitely been the right one! Outside of work I love spending time with my friends and family.

I started at Pure in March 2018 but I have worked in firms of Solicitors for many years and wanted to have a complete change and I felt that Pure was the best firm to move to. In my spare time you will find me running round after my cats. I also love to see live bands most weekends and when I am not doing that I will normally be out walking or camping.

Laura Butler

I have recently joined the Broker Support team at Pure, and have been made to feel really welcome by the whole department. As a newbie to the equity release sector there’s definitely a lot to learn, however everyone has been so helpful and supportive every step of the way. In my spare time I love reading and listening to a good podcast, and trying to see as much of the world as possible.

Joe Gibson

I have recently joined pure as an apprentice in the broker support team. As a new employee I can honestly say I have never received as much help and support as I have by all the people that work here. They have instantly made me feel right at home in a positive working environment and I look forward to contributing to the team every day. Outside of work I have a keen interest in sport and am a passionate football and rugby league fan.

Outside of work you’ll find me socialising, binge watching Netflix or in any karaoke bar.

Catherine Dwyer

I have been at Pure since August 2017 and started in the Mortgage Application Support Team. The support and training I received there was invaluable and after 16 months, I moved into Underwriting in November 2018. I have been in the Banking and Finance Industry for almost 40 years - primarily in Secured Lending - with Lloyds and other high street banks. I have also previously been heavily involved with Training and was very pleased to discover that the training here is excellent. Everyone has been so welcoming and it makes a great change to be part of a smaller growing business than being a small cog in a very large wheel. Outside of work, I am usually outside - literally. I enjoy walking, gardening and sea swimming (though the latter tends to be seasonal of course).

Ingrid Gillespie

I have only been working at Pure for a short time and already I feel like part of the Team. I like the calm atmosphere in the office and everyone here is approachable and friendly. Outside of work a lot of my time is taken up with looking after my Horse. If I am not with my Horse you will find me at home in my Garden. I also enjoy walking, cycling and spending time with friends and family.

Karen Brooke

I joined Pure recently after many years in the finance sector. Pure is different to anywhere I have ever worked the atmosphere is amazing as is the support and friendliness from everyone. In my spare time I enjoy gardening, walking with my dog, watching hockey and eating out.

Carren Armytage

I am looking forward to starting my adventure with Pure Retirement, after having spent 30 years working in the public sector, in various government departments and primary schools. The atmosphere here is very relaxed and friendly. People get their heads down and get on with their work, but still find time to cultivate friendships. I especially like the treats and goodies that are brought in on a daily basis! I am most happy at home spending time with my family, catching up with friends and am an avid reader.

Jan Kelly

I joined Pure in August 2019 and was immediately made to feel very welcome.

There is a lovely positive atmosphere and everyone is so helpful and supportive clearly embedding the companys great values. I am looking forward to starting my career with Pure. In my spare time you will probably find me out walking in the North Yorkshire Moors or enjoying a glass of prosecco or two with friends and family.

Lucie Jurickova

My name is Lucie and I am originally from the Czech Republic, where I studied Finance. I moved out when I finished University – to work and travel and get experience from other countries. In the past 6 years, I lived in England, Thailand and Australia and came back here at the beginning of 2020, to live here permanently. I am very outdoorsy and I enjoy being active, but I’m also a big foodie! I believe that what we put into things, is what we get out of them, so I always try and give my 100% whatever I do! I started working at Pure in July 2020 and considering I joined this company in the middle of pandemic, and not been able to meet the team properly face to face, I felt very welcomed and appreciated straight away! I really enjoy my role, as there’s a variety of tasks to do and I have the freedom to choose, which makes the day more interesting!

Hi I’m Luke, I joined Pure Retirement at the start of September 2020 as a Mortgage Processor. My previous roles include working in the charitable housing sector in which I studied in an apprenticeship for 2 years before heading off to uni in Sheffield. So far everyone here has made me feel welcomed and valued. Apart from being an avid football fan, Leeds born and bred but Arsenal fan since I can remember, I pass my time doing Karate twice a week due to its therapeutic and draining qualities helps me unwind. I am a black belt and have been for 8 years now, helping train others and develop relationships with a variety people always puts a smile on my face and keeps me engaged.

I joined Pure in September and since then I have been enjoying training for my new role and meeting the team (hopefully all in person soon!). I have a degree in English Literature and I have worked in many different jobs since graduating, from managing coffee shops to most recently being a data analyst, which I was unfortunately made redundant from due to Covid. In my spare time I like eating out, reading and watching Gogglebox with my cat Beverley.

Georgia Clark

Simone Fisher

I have been with Pure Retirement since 2014 and the best thing about the company is that they care about their employees and provide help and support in order for them to progress further down the path they wish to take. My role within the company has changed over the years, and with this experience and knowledge it enabled me to develop & manage the Post Offer & Completions Team. The importance of this team is to ensure that Pure are providing the greatest service and journey from offer stage all the way to the all-important completion stage. While I’m not at work I enjoy pioneering walks with my dog finished off with a nice cold beer and some good food, travelling to new places and keeping active at the gym (mostly to counteract the Food & Beer).
