I have spent 14 years in financial services, with no time off for good behaviour. For the past 11 years, I have specialised in complex mortgages, bridging and commercial property finance, focusing on title splitting, auction purchases and social housing. Complex transactions and portfolios are where I get the most enjoyment, and I am always ready for a challenge.

Aspire Property Finance may be a newer brand, but it is rooted in an exceptional depth of industry experience. The team is the most welcoming and knowledgeable group I have encountered. Bringing my auction and residential mortgage experience into the mix has helped us provide a full suite of mortgage and property finance solutions. We are looking to grow following the success of the past six years and are excited about what comes next.

I hope my skills and experience will add to the team's nearly 500 years in finance - yes, I added it up - and help take the business forward.

Like many of the team, I am passionate about rugby, although being a Bristol supporter has not always been the easy ride enjoyed by some Bath and Exeter fans. I am a proud season-ticket holder and remain hopeful that a trophy-winning season is around the corner.

Beyond sport, I love to travel and plan to visit 50 countries before I turn 50. I have also dipped my toe into property investment over the past five years and plan to continue. I split my time between Bristol and London, supporting clients nationwide.
