OUR HISTORY

Our founding Director, Richard Tingey set up as a broker back in February 1996.   He formed Tingey & Thompson t/a Options Mortgage Centre in 1998 and the company joined the Tenet Network in the same year, moving to the Primis Network in February 2024.
Pete Burdell our second director, joined the firm in 2017, and became a director in 2023.  We became a limited company in 2023.  We have traded from the same premises on Topping St, Blackpool since January 2000.   

Two Years Later

Rick was introduced to Trevor Thompson who was a business manager for Lincoln National based at Preston at the time.  Within 2 years of them working together they decided to set up a partnership as Independent Financial Advisers working between the Topping Street site and offices they had in South Shore Blackpool, both of which had building society agencies within them.

A Third Partner

As the business evolved they took on a third partner who worked with them for ten years, he eventually left and went in to the alternative investments and commodity markets.

New Director Appointed

After 6 successful years as a self employed advisor, Pete Burdell became a director of the company.

ABOUT OUR TEAM

We have a combined experience in years across all the team members of 250 years’ in financial services & across the team we convert on average up to 1,500 mortgage applications per annum alongside insurances to support the customer in the event of the unforeseen.

Our head office on Topping Street Blackpool houses all our admin, two of our senior advisers and both directors. We have got more than four thousand live and returning regular clients.

HIGHLY REGARDED IN THE LOCAL AREA

All other advisers work between estate agents, accountants, solicitors and home visits and although we work typically within a sixty-mile radius of our head office, we have advisers based in Blackpool, Preston, Bolton, Merseyside & Manchester.  We also work nationally for any customer that wants our service proposition via Telephone, Video Conferencing & Email.

The Options Mortgage Centre ethos is to offer the best service that we can and ensure that the customer gets the best quality offering available.  All our advisers are handpicked and should come from experienced and compliant backgrounds. Advisers must also be able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of our market place.

When Richard Tingey originally set up the business it was because he was personally dissatisfied with the services offered by the tied adviser & the lack of understanding of the people that do not fit on a standard one size fits all mortgage application.
