More From Ryan
After leaving university in 2016, Ryan made the decision to join the financial services industry with James and Pink Pig Loans Limited, the predecessor to Truffle Specialist Finance.
Ryan attended the University of Wales Trinity St David Swansea (UWTSD) from 2013-2016 where he studied Early Years Education. Even though his degree was in a completely unrelated field, studying taught him the discipline and focus required as his career developed.
Ryan initially joined as administrative support for the underwriting team and, after learning the process involved within the business, he soon progressed to become a full-time underwriter.
Ryan excels in paying attention to detail and he understands that it is of vital that an underwriter thoroughly reviews applications and ensure the accuracy of every detail. He also enjoys the customer service aspects of his role – interacting with clients, brokers, lenders, accountants and solicitors.
As an escape from work, Ryan enjoys playing rugby for his local team Penarth RFC, going to the gym and socialising with friends.
