    Prior to joining the industry I worked in catering and also as a Driving Instructor. I joined the funeral industry 14 years ago with a chance of a job opportunity that could develop into a career. I started my journey as a Funeral Service Operative and then progressed into Funeral Directing. I have a great wealth of knowledge to help all our client to arrange and conduct the funeral service they would like for their loved one.
    I am here to listen to our customers and understand their needs to support and guide them making informed choices. I have lived in the area all my life, so have a great knowledge and understanding of the local community. My main motivation at work is to help and support the bereaved in their time of need.
