I have lived in the village outside of the Melton area for about 12yrs before relocating to Queniborough recently.

I have spent over 40yrs working in customer facing roles, which is an area I absolutely love being involved in.

I joined Mike Ford Estate Agents in 2024, having retired from a full time career & have enjoyed meeting many new faces as I take them on a journey through their viewing experience.

I have been married for over 25yrs.

I hope one day to buy a classic car to enjoy summer days out & stopping off for a delicious afternoon tea.
