Meet the Team

Behind every successful mortgage is a team that understands how contractors actually work.

This team was built with that in mind. Not just to secure offers, but to guide contractors through a process that can feel overly complex when handled by people who don’t understand contract income.

The approach is simple. Do the work properly. Be clear. Be accountable. Support clients all the way through, not just until the paperwork is signed.

Meet the team

Andy McBride

Owner / Senior Mortgage Consultant

Andy knows the contractor world first-hand. After working as a management consultant on a contract basis, he experienced the challenges of mortgage funding himself. That insight shaped his career and, eventually, the business.

With more than 15 years in the contractor mortgage market, Andy focuses on doing things the right way. Honest advice, clear direction, and a business culture where the team is trusted to deliver without cutting corners.

Olivia Harland

Senior Mortgage Consultant

Olivia brings over a decade of experience working exclusively with contractors. She’s built strong relationships across the industry and is known for her calm, considered approach.

She joined My Contractor Broker because she believes in where the business is headed and values long-term client relationships. Outside work, Olivia has a keen interest in interior design, a reflection of her eye for detail.

Lewis Channer

Senior Client Manager

Lewis is often the steady hand clients rely on throughout the process. He keeps things moving, keeps people informed, and makes sure nothing slips through the cracks.

A football enthusiast by nature, Lewis brings energy and commitment to his role, focusing on building trust and making the experience as straightforward as possible.

Laura Watts

Client Manager

Laura is known for her love of handbags, but it’s her people skills that really define her role. She takes pride in making clients feel comfortable, heard, and supported at every stage.

Her friendly manner and attention to detail help keep journeys smooth and stress-free.

Melissa Kennet

Partnership Manager

Melissa is all about relationships. As Partnership Manager, she works closely with partners to build connections that last, driven by open communication and collaboration.

A self-described chatterbox, her outgoing nature plays a big part in growing the network and supporting shared success.

Bella

Office Dog & Head of Morale

Bella doesn’t get involved in mortgage decisions, but she does keep spirits high. Always nearby for a belly rub, she’s an ever-present reminder not to take things too seriously. Occasional flatulence included.
