Simplicity Financial Services - Staff Profiles
Rob Downham
Chris Downham
Chris attended Sheffield University and completed a Business Management degree. With Chris's twin brother also at Sheffield University they decided to purchase a property rather than rent and funded themselves through university thanks to the generous rent provided by a rather packed house of friends. The property bug caught and over the next ten years Rob & Chris bought around 30 properties of various types.
This early introduction to finance led Chris into a career in financial services and he had 4 years with Zurich as a financial adviser. Chris moved into management and immediately brought Rob over to Sheffield as an adviser. Over the next 4 years Chris rose through the management structure ending up as the National Mortgage Manager at Zurich. This role entailed understanding the regulatory framework we work within, helping shape information technology within the industry and above all assisting mortgage businesses to move forwards and learn best practice within the industry. This experience has been invaluable, when we claim to be the best we really have studied the competition.
Chris is married to Jenny and has a 1 year old daughter, he is also a keen hockey player and can sometimes be seen playing against his twin, the battle of the brothers!
Nikki Downham
Nikki is originally from North
Wales and moved to Sheffield 3 years ago to be with her
now husband Rob. Previous to joining Simplicity Nikki worked as a sales
representative, covering most of England, for an
equestrian company. This is where Nikki first met and worked originally with
Jayne. Nikki works as part of the administration team and is integral in seeing
mortgage applications through to completion as smoothly and swiftly as
possible.
Nobby and Womble (office dogs) also accompany Nikki to the office every day. They act as the office stress relievers (well to some people they do, others could happily throw them out of the window!! Yes, I know who you are!). Nikki, Nobby and Womble can be found in the puppy pen in the Simplicity office.
