Meet the founders

Built on trust, run by people who genuinely care

Sarah and Fiona founded Hollybeck in 2016 with one belief: mortgage advice should never feel like a one-off transaction. Decades of combined experience, and a lot of loyal clients, say it works.

Sarah Parkin, Founder & Senior Adviser

Founder & Senior Adviser

Sarah Parkin

I'm a co-founder of Hollybeck, and I've spent 25 years advising clients through some of life's biggest financial decisions.

We created Hollybeck with a clear vision: to build a mortgage brokerage centred on trust, long-term relationships and genuinely caring for the people we advise. I've always believed advice should be about guiding clients through every stage of their property journey, and being there whenever they need support, reassurance or a fresh review.

Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than seeing clients return to us time and again, confident they're in safe hands. Building those loyal, lasting relationships is what Hollybeck is all about.

Outside of work, I'm happily married to Rob and a proud mum to two wonderful girls. We love spending family time walking in the Peak District, and I play goal defence for the Jets netball team, which reflects my love of staying active.

Fiona Todd, Founder & Senior Adviser

Founder & Senior Adviser

Fiona Todd

I've been helping people secure their homes since 2003, and I still get the same buzz from it today.

Cofounding Hollybeck in 2016 with Sarah was a natural next step. I'm proud that many of my earliest clients still trust me today, and now introduce me to their children as they begin their own homebuying journeys.

I'm known for loving a challenge, especially with professional and self-employed clients whose circumstances don't always fit the high-street mould. I also care deeply about making sure clients are financially protected. It's not just about getting the keys, it's about knowing that if life throws something unexpected your way, you and your family are covered.

Outside of work, life is all about my favourite people: long walks with my husband, son and our dog Pippa, and time with family and close friends. Health and fitness are a big part of my life too, and when winter rolls in you'll find us snuggled on the sofa with a good movie.

The friendly faces keeping everything on track

Behind every smooth completion is a team that answers the phone, chases the detail and treats your move like it's their own.

Kate Brooks

Relationship Manager

Kate Brooks

I joined Hollybeck in 2020 and, without hesitation, I can say it's my dream role. I work closely with clients and our trusted network of lenders, solicitors, estate agents and independent advisers to keep every case moving smoothly.

What I love most is building long-term relationships, helping clients not just at application but throughout their whole journey. Mortgages are one of life's biggest milestones, and I'm here to make sure people feel supported and looked after every step of the way.

Outside of work I'm a proud mum to two wonderful humans and one characterful British bulldog. I'm also a Hyrox coach, a sunshine seeker and an unapologetic coffee enthusiast.

Samantha Lee

Client Manager

Samantha Lee

I've been part of the Hollybeck team from the start. What I love most is supporting clients through the whole process and helping everything come together smoothly, right through to completion.

I'm always on hand to answer questions and keep things moving behind the scenes, and I genuinely enjoy picking up the phone for a chat. To deepen my knowledge I completed my CeMAP exams, which lets me give even more support to the people we look after.

Outside of work I'm a busy mum to three children, including twin girls. Originally from Bournemouth, I love staying active and most weeks you'll find me playing women's softball. I'm happily married to Paul, and family life certainly keeps me on my toes.

Clare Fullaway

Client Manager

Clare Fullaway

My role is all about making sure clients have a smooth, positive experience from start to finish. I support both clients and advisers throughout the process, keeping everything organised behind the scenes so nothing gets missed.

I also handle the administration for our home insurance cases and help on the accounts side, so there's always plenty to keep me busy. I like to think of myself as a bit of a plate juggler. What I enjoy most is knowing the small details we take care of help create a great experience overall.

Outside of work I'm a proud mum to two daughters and my gorgeous cavapoo, Busby, and I enjoy relaxing with a good Netflix box set when I get the chance.

Tim Quin

Mortgage & Protection Adviser

Tim Quin

I've spent almost a decade helping clients with their mortgage and life insurance needs. I work with a wide range of people, making sure they feel informed, confident and looked after at every stage.

Whether it's buying a first home, moving up the ladder, buying an investment property or protecting against financial shocks, I get a deep sense of satisfaction from helping people get the right advice.

Outside of work I take a keen interest in health and fitness, and I host a podcast on health and longevity. I'm a coffee enthusiast and a proud dad to two daughters who keep me busy. I'm happily married and enjoy balancing family life with staying active.
