Affiliations
In my spare time I enjoy keeping busy and motivated, therefore I support my partner in the upkeep and maintenance of our letting’s portfolio. I help with the administration of the business by maintaining and organising paperwork, generating invoices for our customers, scanning documents and phoning customers to resolve any queries if required. This allows me to use my intelligence as well as my vocational skills.
I enjoy keeping active through playing tennis as a way to clear my mind and boost productivity.
