A professional footballer is tackling the mortgage market and has launched an advisory firm to help homebuyers get on or up the property ladder.
Nathan Blissett, who is also the nephew of West Brom and Watford legend Luther Blissett, is making his biggest transfer yet – from the football pitch to the property market, having launched Dwello Mortgages.
Fans of Blissett will be pleased to hear, despite kicking off on a new venture, he still plans to keep his foot on the ball for a few more seasons yet.
Blissett has lined up an experienced team of non-executives including Mike Rose, Simon Lloydbottom, Manuel Heinke and Oliver Wadlow, to help ensure he’s on top of both games whilst he transitions.
Currently Dwello is based in Telford, but Blisset and his team are planning to expand across the country. For now, they will be working with customer from their St James’ House base in Central Park, Telford.
Blissett, who currently plays for Stafford Rangers but has also been a well-known goal scorer for Bristol Rovers and Torquay United, recognises how challenging the mortgage market is for borrowers at the present time.
He said: “The mortgage market is confusing and ever-changing for people who are busy and often then bury their heads. They are often scaremongered and then make the wrong decisions or no decisions!
“Dwello is here to be that trusted guide in personal finance – we will ensure the process is easy to understand and smooth for our clients and most importantly we will get the best mortgage deal for them.
“As a team we aren’t afraid of long hours, hard work and challenging the market – every day literally is a new day in the mortgage world.
“We all live in Shropshire and surrounding areas, with many of the team working on national and international projects in the finance industry, so Telford was the obvious choice to launch and base our HQ here on our home turf.”
He has joined Shropshire Chamber of Commerce to support, collaborate and learn from fellow business owners, said it was an exciting time for the borough due to the commercial and residential developments across Telford.
“Telford has a fantastic and dynamic business community and an ever-growing population,” he said.
“Our offering means we can really help and guide people locally with mortgages; right at a time when some will need it most.
“Telford is very close to my heart as I’ve lived in the region a long time and I know how passionate and welcoming the community are through my connection with football in the county.”
Dwello offers mortgage and protection advice for residential, buy-to-let and remortgage customers.
