Born and raised in the heart of the Lake District, I’ve always had a strong connection to the local community. After completing my degree in Accounting and Finance, I brought together my academic background and the hands-on experience gained from working in my family’s business from a young age. This early exposure gave me a real insight into the day-to-day realities of running a small or medium-sized business - the pressures, the potential, and the passion it takes to succeed. I'm excited to be part of the team at Mulberry, where I can put that experience to work in supporting SME clients across the region.
Born and raised in Cumbria, I’ve always had a passion for supporting local businesses. After several years working as an Executive Assistant and a few adventure-filled years living in Australia and New Zealand, I returned home in 2024 to launch my own freelance business helping small businesses with Business development and Marketing. Now with Mulberry Leisure, I’m combining my organisational skills, creativity, and love for the Lake District to help grow our online presence and build strong connections across the local hospitality community.
I started working for Mulberry in 2012 and my role has naturally developed over time. I initially started learning the ropes about asset finance, working with our existing customer base whilst reaching out to new businesses.

The purchase went smoothly, and I would not hesitate in recommending Mulberry Asset Finance to any other Cumbrian Businesses.”
