Shortly after completing my A Levels at Honley High School, I joined Eastwood Renshaw in Huddersfield in 1986 and have been in the Financial Services Industry ever since. Initially working as an administrator, I qualified as an IFA in 1989 and worked for several companies based in Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds before being approached to join Watson Financial Planning when the Company started up in 2005. 

​

My initial role with Watsons was to set up the back office systems and provide support to the Advisers by researching products and writing reports.  I returned to my role as an Adviser in 2012.

​

In my spare time I enjoy watching sport and travelling. When possible I combine the two and watch the England cricket team overseas. I am a retired Brass Bandsman of 35 years and look after a small herd of Highland Cattle in Holmfirth.
