As an ACCA Qualified Accountant, I’m passionate about and find immense joy in running a Charity Specialist Accountancy firm. With a 29+ year career dedicated to helping CEOs, Trustees, and nonprofits achieve their dreams, I strive to provide guidance that allows clients and my team to thrive. Taking up the role of Trustee with Disability Holidays Trust connects well with both my personal values and my career expertise, and I’m excited to be involved as a founding Trustee.

On the personal side, I’ve been blessed with a supportive husband of 30 years, 5 sons, and six beautiful grandchildren and counting! We were foster parents for 10 years to 2 of our sons, and this was a very special time for us to welcome others into our family. When it’s time to unwind, we’re often on the road in our touring caravan or soaking up the sun in Lanzarote, where we hope to settle one day. And… I love all things purple!
