Will writer

I joined CFS Wills in 2020 after looking for a career change in which I could make a difference. Working with Paul again was a big factor with us initially working together over 30 years ago at Barclays Bank. We always stayed friends, and when the opportunity came to join CFS Wills I jumped at the chance. Having spent over 25 years in the motor trade and running car dealerships for over 10 years, I needed to do something different that would utilise many of the Skills and experiences I have developed over the years dealing with both private individuals and businesses. I wanted a career change that would not only be rewarding for me but be able to make a difference to peoples lives. Helping people put their affairs in order by simply completing a Will or Lasting Powers of attorney is for many quite cathartic. For most people, their Will is not very high on their wish list, yet everyone knows they should have one. For many, when they finally arrange their Will, you can see the relief in their faces.

 

Personally, I am married with two grown up children, but am now the proud owner of a dog (Springer-poo called Albi) for the first time in 30 years. To say he has taken over the house would be an understatement with almost everything revolving around him. We now all enjoy long walks and holidays near the beach for the dog. If Albi is happy, so are we!
