I started my Financial career in 1996 after graduating and joined NatWest Bank. I worked in all departments within the bank and in 2000 joined the business banking department as an Assistant Relationship Manager, and was soon promoted to Business Manager, and again to Senior Business Manager.
As a Senior Business Manager I managed a portfolio of c300 SME businesses, in Leicestershire, with a lending book of c£10 million.
In 2006 I joined Alliance & Leicester Commercial Bank after being headhunted. I was given the role of Business Development Manager, where I attracted commercial clients to the bank that required borrowing of £100k plus.
I left Alliance & Leicester in 2008, and set up my own credit brokerage concentrating primarily on Commercial Loans, and also undertaking residential mortgages, protection, and insurance.
In March 2017, I joined the Empire team as a Consultant for Commercial Finance.
I am Leicester born and bred, and have vast contacts within the local community. I am married, with two children, and I love my Dog!
