Emily Douglas

Emily Douglas is an executive editor at Mortgage Introducer, bringing more than a decade of business journalism experience to her coverage of the UK mortgage and housing market. Her reporting for MI spans the issues that matter most to British mortgage professionals — from housing affordability and the real barriers facing first-time buyers in one of the world's most challenging property markets, to the business growth strategies helping brokers and advisers build sustainable practices, to the workplace and mental health pressures that define life in a rate-sensitive, regulatory-driven industry.

A graduate of University College London and the University of Geneva, Emily has written for global business publications since 2015, developing a sharp editorial instinct for the stories that resonate with senior industry professionals. Her background in workplace strategy, mental health, and people management gives her a distinctive lens on the human side of the UK intermediary market — from the personal journeys that bring unconventional talent into mortgage advice, to the cultural and organisational shifts reshaping how brokerages, networks, and lenders operate across the United Kingdom.
