This week on Wired for Success, Jamie Morgan sits down with Darryn Evans of AJMS Mortgages—a mortgage broker with a backstory full of entrepreneurial twists.

From running a haulage company moving fine art and antiques for auction houses, to launching a photobooth business, to living in Cyprus and coming home to the UK—Darryn has seen it all.

Now, he’s using that hands-on business experience to guide first-time buyers onto the property ladder, one mortgage at a time.

We dive into:

• His unique path from logistics to finance
• Lessons learned from running multiple businesses
• The human side of mortgages (it’s not all numbers!)
• Why trust matters more than sales in financial services
• How small business resilience shapes success in any industry

If you're a small business owner, startup dreamer, or just love real-world stories of reinvention, this one’s for you.

You'll also learn:

• How SEO really works in 2024
• What E-E-A-T means (and why it matters to Google)
• Why SEO is a long game — and worth playing
• The importance of ethical marketing and clear communication

🎙️ Claim What’s Yours: Alan Howell on Taking On Insurance Giants and Taking Control of His Future

How one redundancy led to business ownership, fighting for policyholders, and the power of local networking in Camberley and beyond.

In this episode of Wired for Success, host Jamie Morgan sits down with Alan Howell, the owner of My Property Claim, an insurance loss assessor business based in Camberley, Surrey.

Alan’s entrepreneurial journey began not with a grand plan—but with redundancy. After being let go from his corporate job at Nokia, Alan made a bold decision to buy a franchise and launch his own business. What followed was a steep learning curve, a new mission, and a realisation: most policyholders don’t know how to deal with insurance companies when things go wrong—and worse, many insurers will do everything they can not to pay out.

💡 In this episode, we explore:

• Why Alan chose to buy a franchise—and what he learned along the way
• The crucial differences between insurance brokers, loss adjusters, and loss assessors
• What to look out for in your home or business insurance policy before it’s too late
• Real-life examples of how insurers try to avoid paying claims
• Why Alan is proud to stand up for policyholders who feel powerless
• How local business networking transformed My Property Claim’s growth
• And what advice he has for anyone navigating redundancy or starting a business

Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, business owner—or just someone who's dealt with insurance headaches—this episode is full of practical insights and real-world experiences from someone who's been on both sides of the desk.

🛠️ Alan now works with clients across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, and beyond, helping them maximise their insurance claim success and reduce stress during difficult times.
