In 2012, I found myself in a difficult situation when I was made redundant from a large company. Instead of letting this setback define me, I decided to take a leap of faith and start my very own business. It was an exciting and daunting experience all at once, but I was determined to make it work. And I am so glad I did!

With a passion for organising and creating order, I started my bookkeeping services company, Granville Bookkeeping Services, which gained its very first client with the National Health Service (NHS). As a qualified bookkeeper, I soon realised that many of my clients were struggling with cash flow issues and debts. This is where my past experience as a credit controller at Bulmer Cider came into play. I was able to use my knowledge and skills to reduce their debt and improve their cash flow by about 40%, a task that brought me great satisfaction.

As a military veteran from a long line of military family members, I have always made it a priority to give back to the community. I support various charities that are related to the military and their families. In my free time, I love nothing more than traveling the world aboard cruise ships and tending to my lovely garden. I am also an avid reader, always eager to learn and expand my knowledge.

For me, the best part of being an entrepreneur is being able to help my clients thrive and succeed. I am passionate about my work and take great pleasure in contributing to their success.
