What sets you apart from the competition?

I provide all estate planning services when it suits you. Either remotely or in person, in the evening or weekends it's all about fitting in with Your Day!!

· How did the business come about?

3 years ago my Father-in-Law died with no Will and seeing what the family went through steered me towards it. I franchise partnered with Maplebrook Wills last year and haven't looked back. I now also provide financial protection insurance through the Openwork Network having recently passed my protection advisor exams.

· What are your main target markets?

Everyone needs a Will so my target market is every adult with something to protect.

· How long has your business been in existence?

8 Months

· How many staff do you employ?

Sole Trader

· What job or achievement makes you most proud?

Having worked in retail for 30 years, as a store manager and project manager making the transition from that to self employed has been enormous and, if I'm honest, a little scary at times

· Where do you see the business being in five years?

I would like a small business unit with at least 2 other Will advsiors with me. 

· Tell us one interesting thing about the business that might surprise us?

I can provide you with a legally binding, insurance backed Will from instruction to signing in 4 hours, so if you need it now.....You know the rest!!

· Tell us one interesting thing about you that people might not know? (ie, hobbies, amusing fact, etc)

I sang Mystify with Michael Hutchence from INXS on stage at Victoria Hall in Hanley in '92. I nailed it!!

· Fantasy dinner party – which six people alive or dead would you invite?

Shane Warne, Ian Botham, Dame Judi Dench, Sir Richard Attenborough, Florence Nightingale, Marie Curie
