Katie-Jill Rowland speaks to Amy Smith, Director at Pink Pig Loans...
1. How long have you been at Pink Pig Loans and what did you do previously?
I have been with Pink Pig from the start so nearly 7 years now! - I was previously a mortgage Underwriter in Dorset.
2. What did you want to be when you were a Kid?
I always wanted to work with animals. I actually volunteered for years at a Dog home! I got bitten quite a few times!
B&C: Oh so it was once bitten twice shy... Is that why you changed you career path?
Possibly!
3. If you could do anything you wanted this Sunday, what would it be?
Sleep! I have a 2 year old so I never get a lie in anymore!
4. Which football team do you support and why?
Manchester United purely because my Dad does! I like rugby! being English and living in Wales makes it much more fun!
5. What is the best thing about your job?
The Best has to be the people - Pink Pig Loans business is generated from IFA's and I really enjoy building and maintaining those relationships as well as with the funders
B&C: And the worst?
Having to work with Rainbow (James Rainbird) you have to have your wits about you!
6. If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
A cat because no one can force them to do anything!!
7. What’s your favourite movie and why?
Anything with Russell Brand! I love him and I actually own a key ring that reads 'Mrs Russell Brand' clearly this was purchased before Katy was on the scene. I'm very distraught about the whole situation! It should have been me!
8. What do you expect to happen in the bridging finance industry over the next 12 months?
it's clearly a growing industry and this is being recognised by funders - I think we will see more new names and also see the existing funders making positive changes to their criteria.
9. What you put in room 101 if you had the chance?
Rainbow!!! Haha.
10. What’s your favourite book?
I read everything from Katie Price's autobiography to Dan Brown! I'm currently ready 'The Girl with the Dragon’.
