With over 30 years of experience working within the business to business arena, spanning across Insolvency, Commercial Finance, Manufacturing and Debt Collection I have not only worked hand in hand to resolve financial problems but also navigated my own financial problems almost losing my house and narrowly avoiding Bankruptcy twice.
