I read Law at Newcastle University and was on the verge of becoming a solicitor in 1995 when I decided it wasn't for me. After a couple of years selling washing machines at Comet, I moved into Financial Services and have been here ever since. I have been a Tied Adviser, IFA, Area Manager and Regional Director, the latter in banking where I was responsible for a team of circa 100 Financial Planners. I joined Apricity in 2021 as a Compliance Consultant and have loved every minute of it!!
I head up Enable which is our Training and Competency (T&C) service. I spend all day with advisers and papaplanners helping them progress their careers and fulfilling their potential in a truly diverse and unique profession. Training and coaching are my key strengths and there is nothing more satisfying than seeing firms and their people flourish.
Darts, pie and a pint, watching the Toon, James Bond but most of all, having a laugh.
I'm related to the pirate Captain Morgan. I'm also a fan of his rum.
There is nowhere like it in Financial Services. Variety is the spice of life which makes every day a joy.
Never stop asking questions. You will always get an answer.
