  • 1992 - 2001

  After completing my A-levels I entered the world of insurance as a trainee insurance broker. I didn’t know what insurance was, other than what I read in a book I borrowed from the library in preparation for the interview. Transpires it was this initiative that secured me the job and so started my career path. After completing my A-levels I entered the world of insurance as a trainee insurance broker.
