- Married, I am a keen participant and watcher of sport. An active member of local hockey and cricket clubs. Involved in the management of these clubs and assisting in their youth development programmes. I am an enthusiastic if not especially talented golfer. When resting (which is not often) I love listening to music and have an extensive and varied collection of popular music.
Why do I love my job
I love the challenge of solving problems. We are asked to assist people who are often facing financial difficulties for the first time in their lives and don't know where to turn.
We usually have to react quickly to establish the cause of the problem and find a solution.
Although each assignment is different I can draw upon my years of experience to assess the situation and implement the right strategy.
It is satisfying to see a plan through to a successful conclusion and help people along the way.
