Mark Smith
Director, founded Acorn in 2006
My career began in the early 80’s working for a local estate agency, progressing into a Branch Manager role. In 1990 I made the move into the financial services industry when I joined Prudential Assurance Company as a local agent in Colchester and the surrounding areas.
After several years at the Prudential and missing the estate agency working environment, I joined a local agency as a mortgage advisor in their Colchester High Street office. Subsequently working for a number of other estate agencies and a local mortgage brokerage I made the decision to set Acorn Mortgage Services up in the summer of 2006 to provide honest and reliable mortgage and protection advice to my clients.
In October 2021 my son Connor joined Acorn and it’s exciting for me to see the future of the business develop.
