Graham Allsop - Director/Mortgage Broker
I launched Mortgage & Insurance Needs in 2005 following a successful career with BUPA and as a Mortgage Manager with the Yorkshire Bank. My vision was to create a business built on quality service and excellent customer relationships which has been a strong bed rock that the business has continued to grow from. Most of my clients have come via recommendations and referrals from my existing. This is such a satisfying reinforcement of the quality of my work.
My commitment to customer care and business quality was recognised in 2012 when the I won the Best Broker for Mortgages Award (North) at the PINK Home Loans Service Awards.
My passion is to provide my clients with the very best service and outcome and adding value in this way is the most rewarding element of my role.

George Allsop - Director/Mortgage Broker
Wirral to the core, I’ve been lucky enough to have lived in the area all my life, growing up in Meols and later moving to West Kirby.
Always intrigued by the finance sector, on completing sixth form at Calday Grange Grammar School, I joined The Royal Bank of Scotland’s main retail banking branch at Dale Street, Liverpool. Over the following 3 years I received an amazing grounding in all aspects of personal banking, working at offices throughout Merseyside, helping customers to set up new accounts and arrange loans and mortgages and advancing to the position of Customer Advisor.
I left RBS to join the biggest property services company in the UK, becoming a mortgage broker within their estate agents’ offices and specialising in the financing of new house purchases, always with the aim of making my clients house-buying journey as stress-free as possible.
With a raft of experience under my belt, at 24 I decided the time had come to become self-employed and join Mortgage & Insurance Needs in West Kirby as a Director.
I’ve never lost my fascination with finance and love helping people get to where they want to be, having witnessed time and time again how making the right decisions at the right time can have such an overwhelmingly positive impact on my client’s everyday lives.
When not at work, I’m mad about cars and travel and enjoy socialising with friends as well as a spot of networking.

Elliot Allsop - Director/Mortgage Broker
I have never been far away from property or finance throughout my working life.
After studying at St Anselms College I went on to achieve a 2.1 in Accountancy and Financial Management form the University of Sheffield I returned to the Wirral to work in National Estate Agency. This gave me a great insight into the local housing market and process of purchasing a property. I enjoyed helping people find their ideal home and helping to make the process as seamless as possible.
I then returned to my passion, finance, as I was offered a graduate scheme to work and study as an Accountant for a large Wirral based PLC. I completed the ACCA qualification to become a chartered accountant.
The opportunity arose to work in property again, whilst providing financial services and this proved too enticing to pass up. Having obtained my CeMAP qualifications I took the leap to become self-employed and joined Mortgage and Insurance Needs as a Director.
Since joining I have never looked back the business has grown from strength to strength on the back of our strong local reputation and quality of service.
Outside of work I enjoy playing rugby. I have represented Hoylake RFC for the last 13 years so please don’t be alarmed if you are welcomed into your meeting and I am sporting a cast or a black eye!

James Booth - Protection Manager
Wirral born and bred, from growing up in West Kirby until buying my first house in Moreton in 2016.
Having completed my studies at Birkenhead sixth form college I joined the biggest comparison website in the UK moneysupermarket.com in 2008, initially to become an energy broker, helping customers to find better energy tariffs.
In 2010, I took the opportunity to become a life insurance consultant, a role which gave me the satisfaction of helping customers save money and feel great (a moneysupermarket.com saying, honest!). I also gained the extensive knowledge of the different products and providers operating in the life insurance industry, which I still use today.
In 2017 I was approached by MAIN to join their growing team, working in their amazing new offices in West Kirby, and taking on a new challenge, heading up the protection business for them. It was too good an opportunity to miss!
With 7 years industry experience as well as using external software, I help our new and existing clients to find the right level of cover to protect both their properties and their personal needs, comparing clients’ existing policies against today’s marketing leading products.
I help every step of the way, including completing application forms with clients, chasing updates from insurers, speaking to client’s surgeries if we need GP reports, and challenging decisions made by insurers. I do all that I can to make our client’s journey as stress free as possible and it always pleases me when clients are happy with our service.
Outside of work I enjoy watching the mighty red men, Liverpool, (even getting to a few matches), playing a bit of golf (not too well), seeing friends and family and going on holiday.
