What was the first record/CD/download you can remember buying? Avril Lavigne ‘Let Go’. I must have been about 8 years old then. My music taste has changed somewhat since then. What is your biggest pet hate about the world of financial services? How it is perceived as being very grey and boring by people not in the industry. I love my job and how varied it is, every day I deal with new clients and interesting medical conditions. What is your favourite film, and why? It is so hard to choose just one but The Breakfast Club has always…

1. What was the first record/CD/download you can remember buying? Oh the shame! "My Prerogative" by Bobby Brown and "Rocket" by Def Leppard (much better) both my first singles, bought on the same day in 1988 (I was 13). 2.

1.What was the first record/CD/download you can remember buying? My first record was the single "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC - I wasn't particularly a heavy rocker, but had just got myself my first proper stereo system and wanted something loud to play on it to annoy my parents. And it was loud! 2.What is your biggest pet hate about the world of financial services? In some respects, it's our own arrogance that we think we know best - we fall into the trap of believing that we have all the answers and just don't listen enough to the needs…

1. What was the first record/CD/download you can remember buying? Spandau Ballet – True (I was a new romantic) 2. What is your biggest pet hate about the world of financial services? Automated telephone services where you can find yourself in an endless loop with no ability to speak to someone or if you do manage to speak to someone they ask you to repeat something you have already said or keyed in. 3. What is your favourite film, and why? Point break, the original with Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. I was big into surfing at the time and was…
