Whitfield

I had over 15 years of experience in business consultancy prior to moving into insurance. I worked most recently for a multi-national consultancy and prior to that I ran my own specialist consultancy practice. Having experienced life in a corporate business and a small partnership means I understand the challenges you face regardless of your size of business. This is all part of our personal approach to insurance and financial services. As you will see we have an extensive and experienced team to assist you but you can also contact me directly.

I joined the business in Spring 2017, based mainly in the Whitfield office. I look forward to converting my past experience in the British Army into providing the very best service and advice for all of our clients and members.

I will be working alongside the team to continue to provide the sound advice and service that sets us apart from the competition.

I have worked for the business for over 16 years across all areas of the branch before being appointed Partner in September 2017. My main role now is to assist our corporate clients with their complex insurance requirements.
