Rob Derry, Managing Director of Brunel Mortgages and Loans,
 
 Rob Derry is a qualified management accountant with over 20 years experience in various types of business.
 
He said: "I have never been one to be happy just counting the efforts of the rest of the business though, preferring front-line roles rather than the back office support that accountants are generally known for. I have been in the secured finance industry for 7 years (all at Brunel). I have been Managing Director for the last 4 years. Whilst the last 3 years have been difficult I think they have been rewarding in the long term. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!"
