As the founder and Managing Director of Finance 4 Business, I am proud of what has already been achieved and excited by the future. I started life within the graduate scheme of Lloyds Bank, making an instantaneous impact. I exceeded all targets, being promoted on a number of occasions but became frustrated at the lack of flexibility and governance.

Finance 4 Business has become a multi-award winning organisation, but my plans go much further. My ambition is to evolve Finance 4 Business into a league of its own and demonstrate broking as the new banking.

My financial services career started at Commercial First Mortgages within the Sales and Marketing Department, as an Internal Sales Co-ordinator.  My organisation and leadership skills were soon recognised and I was promoted to Project Specialist where I was responsible for the development of new projects working closely with Department Heads and Directors.  My role incorporated the management of the Internal Sales Team.

In 2010, Russell asked me to join Finance 4 Business as Office Manager to assist with the development of the business.  As the company expanded, I was promoted to Director of Operations.  My role encompasses various factors including overseeing the Marketing Department and managing day to day operations.

My career started at Lloyds bank, joining straight from school. 24 years of continual service, 10 of these being in the commercial property sector, it was time to explore other opportunities.

With my depth of knowledge and experience, I joined Finance 4 Business in 2014. Initially to set up the Commercial Mortgage Desk and package complex Bridging arrangements, I quickly established a lucrative division of the company. I was promoted to Director (Mortgages), joining the Senior Management Team in the process. Now expanding the division and looking to increase revenue further.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, holidays and sport.

With a career in financial services spanning over 20 years, I started my career at the Yorkshire Building Society and Accord mortgages before joining SPPL in 2006.

In 2007 I was a co-founding director of V Loans until the business was acquired by Key Retirement Group in Oct 2014. Having worked with Finance 4 Business over a number of years in a professional capacity, I was delighted to join as Head of Intermediary Relations in Jan 2017. Finance 4 Business have exciting growth plans for the future, with a real focus on delivering an unrivalled service proposition to our new and existing intermediary partners.

I have joined Finance 4 Business as a Senior Business Development Manager to develop new contacts and introductory sources for the Finance 4 Business Group by engaging with professional services in Birmingham and the greater West Midlands area. My previous experience includes 28 years at West Brom Building Society, 10 years at Clydesdale Yorkshire Bank and 4 years at Investec. In addition to this I sit on the Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) Council and I’m a committee member of West Midlands Irish Business Group.

I spent 28 years within Lloyds Banking Group predominantly within the commercial sector. During my final 10 years within LBG, I was responsible for delivering significant change initiatives within Commercial Risk Division whilst ensuring ongoing compliance.

After such a lengthy period within one organisation. I was keen for a new challenge and readily accepted the opportunity to join Finance 4 Business as Compliance Manager.

My combination of experience across risk, compliance and change delivery makes me ideally positioned to proactively support Finance 4 Business in the changing Regulatory landscape.
