I have lived in France permanently since 2000, although we owned a holiday cottage on the Normandy coast before then.

My background in UK was as a career civil servant, with experience across various disciplines: Recruitment, Army Officer Personnel casework, Finance, Audit, Management Training, Policy Formation - Organisation and Management Development; Freedom of Information and Data Protection development. Parliamentary and Public enquiries.

Since living in France, I have been perfecting my language skills. I worked for a family run estate agency, developing their market strategy to attract foreign buyers. Speaker on Integration at various expat conferences.

Now working as Consultant Head of Business Development for First Rate FX - the Currency Specialists.
