Your team

At work

I have a working background in financial services covering areas such as back-office operations, treasury management, and financial/management accounting.

However, more recently I decided to broaden my horizons further and venture into the area of financial advice by training to become a Paraplanner. As part of this process, I am currently studying towards the Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning.

In my current role as a Junior Paraplanner, I’m often the initial point of contact with clients.

At home

Being married with twin boys means that time outside of work is very much “family time”. My children keep me active, mainly playing football.

I also enjoy practicing martial arts and play in the Bedford Tennis League as often as I can.
