I started my career at Midland Bank in North Derbyshire and went on to serve 28 years with Midland/HSBC. I worked in various roles including that of Branch Manager and completed my BSc.(Hons) in Financial Services.
By far, the most enjoyable role was as a Commercial Manager working closely with businesses to understand their challenges and help them achieve their goals.
This time with the bank means that I have a wealth of financial knowledge and experience having worked with businesses from small one man bands to multi-million pound turnover companies.
After leaving the bank I spent four years working as a Business Manager with Inspire by Wessex Chambers which resulted in me building up a huge network of professionals and further broadened my experience outside the financial world. My motto – “Life is short so I believe it’s extremely important to have a passion for what we do but as well as working hard to get the right results, we should have some fun along the way”.
I always make time for holidays and enjoy getting out on my motorcycle including visiting the Isle of Man every June with my husband to watch the TT Races. I have cats and chickens at home and would love to be able to live my own “Good Life”!
