At Roberts McBain Mortgage & Finance Ltd we have a world of experience and knowledge to help ensure that our clients receive excellent advice and service. Here's a few words from our key team members..
Director & Senior Adviser
MARTYN ROBERTS
I have worked in the financial industry since 1987 and its fair to say I have witnessed the highs and lows of an ever changing market. I have learnt that you have to constantly adapt and by having clients best interests at heart/building relationships then this is key to mutual success. I have always had an open and honest approach to advising, without the stuffiness that people may associate with the industry. Yes, I do wear funky socks! I am married with 3 children so I understand the pressures of modern family life. Finally, my likes ... Game of Thrones, french films, a nice bottle of Argentinian Malbec and of course family holidays by the pool!”
Director & Senior Adviser
CRAIG MCBAIN
I have worked in Mortgage & Finance for over 22 years and continue to have a genuine passion for the industry. I really think too many advisors forget the basis of sound advice is knowing your customer and handling each case with as much thought and importance as though it is your own - that’s the secret to having a happy client! I'm proud of the long-term relationships I have built over the years - It's a great feeling knowing you have given the best possible advice and have clients recommend their friends and family to you - that’s what drives me. My likes ... It’s always great spending time with my son and partner as much as I can. My son and I enjoy Thai Boxing (he gets to beat up his old man!), Korean films and of course a nice pub lunch (mmm!) is always lovely!
Mortgage & Protection Adviser
Darren Hearne
What our directors say ..
Darren reflects exactly what we all believe here at Roberts McBain Ltd. That is to handle each mortgage and protection enquiry as thought it was our own application. He really does strive on knowing he has found the most suitable possible way forward for a client and always has time to answer client questions and make sure that everything is explained clearly. Like all the team, really great to know that we have advisers that have a real passion for providing excellent service like this.
What Darren says ..
When I’m not assisting clients, you’ll often find me enjoying live sporting events or cheering on my son at football practice on weekends. A passionate Manchester United supporter (sorry, Liverpool fans!), I never miss a chance to catch a game. Beyond the world of sports, I love spending quality time with my family, exploring the stunning beaches and scenic walks that Cornwall has to offer.
Case Manager
Diane Barnes
What our directors say …
Diane has a world of experience and having previously worked as an underwriter herself she knows exactly how to best deal with lender enquiries and make sure that our client’s applications are processed quickly and efficiently. Diane is a keystone to the company and makes sure that the stress of dealing with an application is taken off the shoulders of our clients, Diane is an absolute dynamo and relentless in making sure that all our cases reach offer stage as quickly as possible.
What Diane says …
I like spending time with my 3 daughters baking cakes and love to go swimming together, I also love to time with my friends with their children and my daughters it gets loud and very messy but always fun. Last but by no means least My husband, daughters and myself love to watch a film at the weekend have a pizza and order a cake-a-way!!

Like all our advisers, James has many years of experience in mortgage and protection advice and his positive attitude to finding a way forwards for all types of cases is second to none.

What James says ..
In my spare time, if I'm not taking my little cocker spaniel on adventurous walks, you would probably find me playing at the local rugby club and having a cheeky Guinness after. Experienced Dad Taxi (open 7 days a a week!) for my daughter, especially supporting her in her Netball career
