Christine Griffin
Christine began her career in financial services 44 years ago when she joined the Ashbourne branch of the Leek United Building Society. Initially recruited as a Cashier, over the next 20 years she worked her way up to becoming Branch Manager (the first ever female Manager for the Society) and then Area Manager for Ashbourne and Buxton branches.
In 2004, Christine decided to leave the building society to set up her own mortgage advice business, starting the business at home and later taking on the Halifax Agency in Ashbourne which she ran alongside the mortgage business. In 2015 Katie, Christine’s daughter joined the company, was trained by Christine and soon became qualified as a Mortgage Broker. Christine retired from the business in 2022, and it has been very successfully run by Katie Starbuck since then.
