What gets you out of bed in the morning?

The challenges that each day brings. You can start each day with a plan but it never quite works out like that and I love the variety. I also enjoy working with the PM+M team – there’s a lot of laughter alongside unwavering professionalism. Also, if I didn’t get out of bed, I’d probably be dragged out by a Labrador wanting her breakfast!

Which individual inspired you most in your career?

No one individual. I learn and take inspiration from lots of people but you’ve got to make life your own.

If you weren’t in your current role what would you be doing?

Dependent on finances I’d either be travelling the world or working as a vet (which was my childhood ambition) What is the biggest highlight of your career?

Becoming managing partner of PM+M. I’ve been here for six years and loved every minute of it. To be chosen to be its leader was a huge honour and a big responsibility to live up to. My focus is now firmly on growth as well as further consolidating our position as being one of the leading chartered accountancy, business advisory and wealth management groups in the UK.

Do you have a business mantra?

I’ve got two: Keep it simple; and Just do it!
