Along with Steve and Paul, I am an ex Midland/HSBC Manager. After 38 years I was offered early retirement in December 2015. I covered a broad range of retail and commercial positions.
For the past 20 years my roles included, Senior Commercial Manager, Senior International Commercial Manager and Relationship Director.
My client base was predominantly domiciled in Bath, Bristol and surrounding areas. I have a thorough knowledge and experience of the commercial banking sector and international trade. Over the years I have enjoyed working with clients from a broad range of sectors and specialisms.
Having spent five months attending to long outstanding DIY projects around the house, I am keen to return to gainful employment and work with the SWBF team. For me, job satisfaction comes from the interaction with colleagues and clients. I enjoy building relationships with clients, understanding their challenges and providing solutions to problems.
As with Dan, Steve and Lloyd, I am a keen rugby fan. I have been a season ticket holder at Bath Rugby for over 30 years and coached Juniors at Avon Rugby Club for 13 years. I am also a life long Everton FC fan, hence I have an inbuilt ability to cope with disappointments and adversity!
