OUR TEAM
The Advisers
Andrew Quinn
Managing Director
READ ABOUT ANDY
I started Response Mortgage Services in June 2005 following on from a period of being a Financial Adviser for one of the large national insurance companies. At Response Mortgage Services we have always had the ethos that customer service is key to our success and this is still our major strength. I am lucky to have a great team of staff around me who are all at the top of their game.
I look to personally get involved with all kinds of financial enquiries, (normal residential mortgages, specialist buy to let mortgages, commercial & development finance as well as making sure all our clients are fully protected against the worst happening too). Away from work I love any kind of sport (more watching these days than playing!)
My 2 boys (Josh & Alfie) play rugby – which dictates what we do with our weekends (and we are massive Leeds Rhinos fans). I am married to Lesley and as well as my 2 boys I also have a teenage daughter (Georgi) who is also growing up too fast.

Siobhan Haran
Mortgage & Protection Adviser
READ ABOUT SIOBHAN
I have been in the financial industry since 2007 and have specialised in mortgages and protection since 2010. I have gained my experience whilst working as a mortgage and protection adviser for one of the largest estate agents in Leeds and also for myself whilst I was a self-employed Mortgage Advisor.
Over the last couple of years, I have been busy with family life and have three beautiful children, who take up all my spare time and money!
I have worked at response since May 2022, initially coming back to work, to support the business as a support manager. However, I missed been directly involved with the clients and helping them with all aspects of their mortgage and protection needs.
So, changing my role back to a mortgage and protection advisor allows me to help clients with any of their mortgage needs and it also allows me to make sure they are fully protected should the worse or unexpected happen. The support from the team here at response means the client always receives a first-class service, which is extremely important to me.

Full Time – 19/06/2022
I started working for Response Mortgage Services in June 2018 after completing a 2 week work experience placement here and have been a part of the team ever since. I learnt a lot from my time working part time at Response for 4 years whilst I was at sixth form which gave me a good foundation of knowledge to take into my mortgage administrative apprenticeship which I’m currently enrolled in.
In my spare time, I coach 2 rugby teams at Garforth Tigers (u13’s boys & mixed girls (u12’s–u14’s)) and play for the open age side too. If I’m not playing or coaching rugby, I’m also a Rhinos fan and try get to every game (I even went to Melbourne to watch them in 2018).
In the few free moments, I have away from work and rugby, I am really into my music and go to lots of gigs and festivals as well as playing the guitar myself.

Started: 14/02/2022
I have recently started at Response Mortgages in February 2022. I have years of experience in the role under my belt with other firms – the majority of which were specialising in self-employed and contractor incomes, so I’m not shy when it comes to getting stuck into the more complex cases. I absolutely love working in the industry and helping clients to have a stress-free journey and enjoy the process!
Outside of work I enjoy spending time taking my 2 dogs, Thor and Frenchie, out for walks, spending time with friends and family and going to the gym!
