Experience |
My banking experience undertaking roles in business, sales, service and people management means I bring a fresh and new angle to accountancy and business advice. I also like to take a very active role in the small business community, for example writing business articles for the Derbyshire Guardian and acting as a business mentor to new start up businesses for the Derbyshire Enterprise Agency.

What makes Ashgates different?
|
We pride ourselves on giving a high standard of service together with proactive business advice, which has resulted in 90% of our new business being introductions from existing clients.
Outside of work I like spending time with my family and I have 2 boys who keep me very busy being a taxi driver and spectator at cricket, football and table tennis around the East Midlands. If there is any free time after this I like to fill it with either playing golf or watching any sport especially Nottingham Forest and I am constantly the butt of jokes from the many staff and clients who are Derby fans
