ABOUT
I am Diploma qualified and SJP accredited, and have been with SJP since 2017. I live in Shropshire with my husband and two little boys.
LIKES
I love to bake, love eating out and having family days out with my boys.
DISLIKES
Rainy days, bad manners, not having enough sleep (sadly impossible when you have kids!)

ABOUT
I have been in financial services for about 20 years (but seems a lot longer!). I've been lucky enough to work for some great financial institutions such as Legal & General and HSBC, wearing many different hats from advising to broker. Prior to joining Plus my business was contracted to a pension compliance review for one of the high street banks, which lasted for 7 years.
LIKES
I enjoy hiking, running and getting into the sea when it's not Arctic conditions. If I'm not working I can usually be found in a nook off the coastal path with a book, the dog and flask of tea.
DISLIKES
Rudeness, queues, commuting (which is one of the reasons why I love my job), social media when used for anything other than work or seeing nice photos.

ABOUT
Studied Modern Languages then worked in Investment Banking dealing with French and Spanish clients, before deciding to retrain as a Financial Adviser. Diploma qualified through the SJP Academy - I went onto to have my own Practice as an Adviser. Paraplanning became a better fit for my family life rather than investing, so I worked as a Paraplanner for two SJP Practices before joining Plus.
LIKES
Going to the theatre, eating out, holidays and a bit of gym/squash.

Do I have to use a template for your review letters?
