She’ll try and place a case long after another broker has given up – that’s just her way.

Adele has lived through the crash of 2008/9 and helped counsel many clients who were in arrears at this difficult time. See, that’s the thing with Adele – you don’t have to cut too deep to realise that her clients mean everything to her.

Under the guidance of Adele, West Yorkshire money is destined for great things and will be the most respected financial brand in West Yorkshire. Get in while you can.
