I love my role because...

There are two key reasons I love what I do. The first is I get to help passionate people look to the future and work with them to make it happen. I've been lucky enough to work with amazing individuals and businesses for many years, they are a constant source of inspiration to me, but all that input and experience means I can make a real difference to clients I work with, which is hugely rewarding. The other reason I love what I do is seeing the team I work with constantly grow and develop. They are constantly amazing me and I get really excited about what we can all do together in the future!

My favourite thing about HURST is...

I still remember my first interview at HURST 16 years ago, I knew at the time something felt different. Ambitious, but with an openness and friendliness I had not seen before. That hasn’t changed in all these years, the firm has grown significantly since then, but I know people still get the same impression when they meet people from the firm for the first time.

Our clients choose HURST because...

Clients most often are looking for somebody they can trust to tell the truth and help them make sense of the world and what is coming next, to help them form their plans and support in making them happen. Clients join us because they can see the businesses we work with and the experience we can bring to bear to really help them along their journey.

When I imagine HURST in 2031...

The world will continue to change, probably at an accelerating rate. It's exciting to think about being part of all that change, I think HURST will still be focused on helping the people at the centre of businesses make decisions and move forward, how business is conducted 20 years from now will be a very different thing. I just really hope I have my hoverboard by then…
