About me
I’m an expert in pensions law, and I work with both corporate entities and trustees.
Pensions law can be incredibly complex, and I’m here to make things simple, offering pragmatic advice clients can use to achieve their goals. I maintain a balanced perspective, ensuring clients can meet their compliance requirements while recognising commercial considerations.
I always keep in mind that pensions are just one aspect of running a business, so I take a holistic approach, ensuring clients can account for all the factors at play and truly deliver for stakeholders.
Client satisfaction is crucial to me, and I take pride in being the expert they can depend on. Helping clients address challenges and reach meaningful outcomes is something I find truly fulfilling.
Away from work, I have a son and a daughter. I like to go cycling in the Yorkshire Dales, while I also teach Pilates and act as a trustee for our local scout and guide hut group.
