1. What gives you the most satisfaction from your business?
I get the most job satisfactionby solving problems that my clients have and putting in place solutions which help them carry on and grow their business in the comfort of getting their business structure and trading arrangements in place securely. If my client is happy, then I am happy too!
2. What’s the main reason you give your time for free to the Chamber?
I think that the Chamber provides businesses with a great deal of support and encourages businesses to talk to one another and share their experiences, concerns and successes. The Chamber facilitates ways for businesses to network, talk and discover new opportunities and I love being a part of that in my home city and helping where I can.
3. What is your favourite place in Brighton?
Really difficult to choose just onefavourite place in Brighton and Hove, so I'm going to go for three: (i) Hove Lawns seafront ... for that feeling of escapism by the water; (ii) Yellowave volleyball courts ... I love playing volleyball and the set up down there is brilliant (an excellent example of a fantastic local business); and (iii) the Theatre Royal ... amazing venue with some fantastic theatre featured.
4. When you’re not working, what do you enjoy doing?
When I'm not working, I enjoy baking and actually recently won theBrighton Bake Off which was such a fantastic feeling!
5. What book are you currently reading?
I am currently reading Peter James' novel, Dead Simple.
6. What’s your dream holiday destination?
Dream holiday destination ... would have to be Italy ... I love the people, culture, food, countryside - perfect place!
