About Us
From Burgers to Broker – A Journey Built on Drive, Integrity, and Results. Read Tom's journey into becoming the Managing Director of Dent and Cook!
At Dent and Cook Mortgage Brokers, we believe great service starts with real stories and real people — and Tom’s story is exactly that.
Tom began his career flipping burgers at McDonald’s, learning early the value of hard work, discipline, and excellent customer service. Eager to grow, he transitioned into the world of finance as a bank teller, where he quickly discovered a passion for helping people manage and improve their financial lives.
That passion led Tom to pursue a career in mortgage advising, where he rose through the ranks to become one of the top-earning advisors at L&C Mortgages — one of the UK’s most prestigious and respected brokerage firms. Over the years, he helped hundreds of clients find the right home loans, build their property portfolios, and make smarter financial decisions.
But success alone wasn’t enough.
Driven by a desire to offer a more personal, flexible, and truly client-first experience, Tom took the leap and founded Dent and Cook Mortgage Brokers. His goal? To create a business built on honesty, clarity, and tailored support — where clients are treated like individuals, not just case numbers.
Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, investing, or facing unique financial circumstances, Tom and the team at Dent and Cook are here to provide expert advice and down-to-earth guidance you can trust.
