The KIS Team

In 1985 Jerry joined the finance industry as an independent credit and mortgage broker. To this day he has never left, so has gained considerable experience arranging a wide range of finance facilities from secured loans to commercial mortgages for his clients.

He arranged his first bridging loan approximately 20 years ago, so has seen a lot of changes in this sector. This has been increasingly apparent over the past eight years, since the high street banks stopped providing bridging finance.

Jerry specialises in arranging bridging loans and development finance.

Holly started her career in the world of finance in 2007 as a secured loans underwriter and packager for a busy loan brokerage. Following the credit crunch she moved to a large insurance company working in their complaints and compliance department. This led to her taking a job with Barclays as a compliance officer and later with Lloyds Banking Group as a mortgage advisor.

In 2014 Holly started working at KIS and in September 2015 she took over as Managing Director from her Father Neil.

Paul works as a commercial finance broker arranging debt finance for property developers and housebuilders. He is a professionally qualified and well connected financier with more than 30 years experience within the real estate and commercial finance sectors.

In 1977 Paul started his banking career with Midland Bank, and since then has also worked for a number of property lenders including Close Brothers and United Trust Bank.

Paul has an established track record in both the London and Hong Kong financial markets. In April 2009 Paul was appointed Chairman of the Hong Kong UK Business Forum to help promote bilateral trade between East and West.

Neil has been directly involved in the finance industry since the mid 1990s, initially as a commercial mortgage and secured loan broker, later expanding into bridging loans and development finance.

Conscious that many people find arranging finance complicated and time consuming, in 2010 Neil set up Keeping It Simple Finance to provide a service dedicated to keeping finance as simple as possible.

In September 2015 Neil made the decision to retire, although still working part time so that he can continue to look after some of his long term clients.

Sue commenced her career in the finance sector in 1991, working for General Accident as a Mortgage Administrator.

After a short time with London and Manchester as a Pensions Administrator, Sue joined a large regional care organisation where she developed her career as a senior HR professional, ultimately taking on the role of Director of HR & Organisational Development with responsibility for overseeing a workforce of over 3,500.

After 25 years Sue has chosen to return to the finance sector where she now supports the team at KIS providing advice and guidance in her areas of expertise.

Sue is a Fellow of the Charter Institute of Personnel and Development.
