I joined Bradleys in October 1999 as a PA for David Lewis as he had become too busy to deal with his own back-office work. I have remained in that role ever since, but have progressed to Office Manager, and now combine it with similar work for four of the other group advisers; all of which includes running diaries, monitoring applications, chasing lenders and solicitors as well as keeping everyone updated – most importantly our clients.

The role is demanding and can be frustrating at times, especially when you have relied on other people to do things which they don’t always do and as they don’t work for Bradleys, you have little control over them either. In all, I feel I am lucky, as I get to work with a team of great people and the work is interesting, varied and rewarding.

Outside of work, I have two grown up children and two beautiful granddaughters, plus two “grand dogs” who keep me very busy and I love spending time with them. I am an avid reader, love good food, travelling, both in the UK and abroad, walking & swimming and spending time with friends.
