Cherry Godfrey has strengthened its presence on the Isle of Wight following the acquisition of the mortgage, life insurance and general insurance client book from Ward House Mortgages and Life.
The agreement sees Cherry Godfrey assume responsibility for servicing Ward House’s existing client portfolio, including ongoing mortgage advice, life insurance reviews and general insurance renewals.
Ward House Mortgages and Life is a well-known family-run business in the Isle of Wight, having operated for more than 35 years.
As part of the transition, its Founder Michael Ward (pictured top right, alongside Grant Ginno, Senior Mortgage and Life Advisor at Cherry Godfrey) will join Cherry Godfrey as a Non-Executive Director, providing continuity and ongoing support to ensure a smooth handover.
Cherry Godfrey, which has been established for over 33 years having launched in Guernsey, offers a comprehensive range of financial services across the Isle of Wight, Southampton, Guernsey, Jersey and the Isle of Man and is known for its personalised, customer-focused approach, said David Cherry, CEO of Cherry Godfrey.
“We are delighted to welcome Ward House clients to Cherry Godfrey. This transition ensures clients continue to receive trusted, experienced advice from a team that shares the same values and strong community focus. Our priority is to provide a seamless handover and long-term support, whether that’s reviewing mortgages, arranging protection or supporting broader financial needs.”
