Meet the team
We have a great team of experienced financial advisers and administrators, and we’re here to help you.
In brief, we are a small team of friends, working
together from our office in Bude, Cornwall. Our
goal is to educate and help people understand, and
take advantage of the vast opportunity that comes
with mortgages.
We have created our
business and values based on personal experience
and feedback from clients over the years. When I
took my first mortgage out, it was very simple and
straight forward. We got our offer fast and moved
in within 5 weeks. So, all in all, it was a great
experience. Only when I progressed my career into
mortgages myself, did I realise how much I, as a
mortgage customer, did not know or understand.
Jack Gear
DIRECTOR & SPECIALIST ADVISER
I’ve worked in the financial services industry for most of my working life. I joined MAB South West in 2017, which helped me start up and build Jack Gear Financial within the MAB network. We’ve grown from 1 to over 10 in the team over the last few years and love the fact we’re able to help so many people every year, and not only in the local area but all over the UK too.
Fun fact
Between 2010 and 2013 I was a professional freestyle mountain bike rider.

Having working in various different jobs from a confectioner, body piercer to a mechanic prior to the finance industry, I feel as if my organising skills have finally come to good use by joining Jack Gear Financial as a personal administrator. I love spending time with my family & appreciate all the little joys in life.
Fun fact
I have over 50+ Disney related tattoos.
Bethany Francis
CASE HANDLER
I joined Jack Gear Financial in 2025 after finishing my A levels and previously working in a variety of different industries. I was ready for a fresh challenge and I was excited to start a new career in a field that really interests me. I enjoy expanding my knowledge, and I'm always keen to develop and grow. One of the things I enjoy most about this job is trying to help people wherever I can. I also like to bring a bit of fun to the team and keep everyone on their toes with a laugh whenever possible.
Fun fact
I was once in a take a break magazine when I was born because I was the 5th living generation of my family tree. Meaning I had 3 great great grandmothers all alive at the same time.
Stacey Crowell
RECEPTIONIST
I joined Jack Gear Financial in 2026 after spending 20 years working as a veterinary nurse. Throughout my career, I’ve enjoyed building strong relationships with people and helping them feel supported and at ease. This job has enabled me to bring those qualities with me to this new career, and I am looking forward to what the future brings.
Fun fact
I worked with Jacks mum whilst I was a veterinary nurse, and it turns out she’s more fond of me than she is of him.
