Philip Cullen Named All-Ireland Mortgage Business Person of the Year 2026
Three Years. Three Consecutive All-Ireland Recognitions.
We are delighted to announce that Philip Cullen, Founder and Director of Southeast Mortgages & Financial Services, has been named All-Ireland Mortgage Business Person of the Year 2026 by the All-Ireland Business Foundation.
The award marks an exceptional milestone for Philip, representing his third consecutive year receiving this national recognition.
For Philip and the team at Southeast Mortgages & Financial Services, the award represents something even more important: the trust that our clients place in us when making some of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.
Recognised for Leadership, Expertise & Client Care.
The All-Ireland Business Foundation recognised Philip for his leadership, professionalism and longstanding commitment to client-focused financial advice.
Philip founded Southeast Mortgages & Financial Services in Gorey, Co. Wexford in 2013, building the business around a straightforward philosophy: give people clear, professional advice and work hard to achieve the best possible outcome for every client.
Today, our team helps clients throughout Wexford, the South-East and across Ireland with mortgages, pensions, financial planning, protection, savings and investments.
Whether someone is buying their first home, moving house, switching their mortgage or planning for retirement, the objective remains the same — to make complex financial decisions easier to understand and give our clients confidence in the decisions they make.

Speaking about the 2026 recognition, Philip said the achievement belongs not only to him, but to the entire Southeast Mortgages & Financial Services team and the clients who continue to place their trust in the business.
“Our focus is always on our clients.”
That approach remains at the heart of everything we do.
