I lead the team at Fairstone’s Lancashire base in Clayton-le-Moors. I began my career in 1980 when I joined Commercial Union and soon progressed in the North West of England.

I have always believed that higher qualifications are a key factor in developing the financial services industry into an accepted profession.

I achieved Chartered financial planner status in 2010 and have been a fellow of the Personal Finance Society since 2012. As a member of Fairstone’s Chartered Board, I aim to help the business drive forward the provision of high quality advice from highly qualified professionals in the years to come.
