"In Private Client and Residential Conveyancing, I see how stressful and emotionally testing such matters can potentially be. It is my personal aim to lift this weight from each and every one of my clients by using my own ambitions to provide a friendly, supportive and proactive service which is tailored to the needs of each client. For me, being able to achieve this makes every working day worthwhile"

I am recently married and after spending two whole years planning the ins and outs of one day, I was, needless to say, struck with post-wedding blues! I need not have worried though, because as word has spread I have now gained a reputation as a rather handy party planner for friends and family. I love making contacts, organising activities and making everything come together for a top notch do, no matter how big or small.
 
When I’m not party planning, I love devoting my time to my lovely little Maisie (my dog). My Husband can also be good company and the three of us spend a lot of our spare time enjoying the outdoors and along the beautiful Northumberland coast.
