OVERVIEW

As an Administrator at Croft and Oakes it is my mission to ensure every part of the business runs effectively and efficiently so that as a team we can provide our clients, both new and existing, with the highest standards of service and exceed expectations.

EXPERTISE

I have worked in Financial Services for over 25 years in many roles, Adviser, Training & Development and Management.

My previous experience has given me a perfect grounding for my current role at Croft & Oakes Financial Planners. From completing review documentation and research for existing clients to ensuring all data and analysis material is available for our new clients, my experience and knowledge of Financial Services is invaluable.

HOBBIES AND INTERESTS

I was born in Shropshire and have always lived in the area. Outside of work I am married and have three children so needless to say spare time is minimal, but I gain great enjoyment and relaxation as a volunteer for the National Trust, I take a keen interest in most sports and (try) to keep fit.
