From 21 years in policing to his own finance brokerage

Martyn Linton came to Broker Launch after a 21-year career in policing, looking for a change he could build on his own terms. No commercial finance background - just the discipline and the drive to make it work.

He worked through the training program with a consistent point of contact throughout, and when a temporary setback hit early on, the support didn't disappear. It's the part he mentions most.

"After a 21 year policing career I contacted Broker Launch when looking for a career change. Dave helped me through the training program and has been a solid point of contact through my commercial finance business set up. Even when I had a temporary setback he was there to help. I don't trust people lightly but I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dave and the Broker Launch team. Thank you Dave for helping to change my life."

Today Martyn runs Linton Energy & Finance - his brand, his clients, his business. That's the whole point: not a job, a business you own.
