Summer is over…but fun times ahead 😉
That’s the holidays over for the year…and from a work perspective, I’m not complaining! A pleasant holiday was had in Tenerife but that’s enough of the warm weather for me 🥵 It was very toasty over there! I like the change of seasons and if totally honest, I’m always ready for summer to end! At…

Networking & Running – daunting at the start…awesome at the finish!

How I can help…
Quite unusual for one of my posts…I’m just “cutting to the chase” As my first full year with Howden Scotland begins, what better time to set out what I can offer: * Highly experienced Commercial Account Executive, with access to a vast array of general and niche Insurance products for SME through to larger national…

2024…a cracking year!
Reflecting on 2024, I have no complaints – it has been a cracking year, certainly from March onwards! My career to date has been something of a long winding road, with more twists and turns than I had ever planned. However as I keep telling my three awesome kids, as my core Dad duty of…

A few photos from 2024…
As 2024 draws to a close, I thought I’d share a few photos I found during my end of year phone back up, before they languish in a folder, somewhere in the cloud! It has been non-stop since March and whilst loads of photos were taken, most are of client sites – so not for…
