What is your favorite restaurant to take a client or colleague to?

Franco's, Hermyn Street

What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

Always put yourself firmly in your clients’ shoes - being able to empathise, identify their motivations & needs and assess situations through the clients’ eyes is key.

What was your first job?

Temping in a hire car company during the holidays.

What is the book you recommend to everyone?

The Choice – a truly inspirational memoir from holocaust survivor, Edith Eger, who shows that we all have a choice as to how we deal with life. Above all we need hope.

What changes do you expect to see in your practice over the next year?

I think there will be even greater appetite for fiduciaries who actively support the financial and commercial affairs of clients, which determine how they would like to see their structures working. This means pro-active and responsive trustees are key.
