Following a short career in my families pub business, I originally entered financial services aged 23 as an Insurance and Investment agent for Cooperative Bank. This company trained and shaped me into a financial adviser for the next 13 years between 1991 and 2004. I left there to begin 'David Knight Mortgages' in 2004. My qualifications include the Chartered institute of insurances 'Financial planning certificate FPC' and 'Mortgage advice qualification MAQ'. Also actively involved in a Property rental business that first begun in 2004 providing accommodation to tenants in Essex and Southeast London.
