About me

Let me take you on a little journey….

Once upon a time … I studied LLB English & French Law and then qualified as  ACA Chartered Accountant, working in multinationals for 9 years.

I realised that I wanted to help people and their businesses more directly and so my business was born in 2005 and my new life in Shropshire began.

My first client was an online media business where I learnt every aspect of running a small business. Since then I have taken on a variety of clients providing social media advice, training and 121 business sounding board sessions.

The social media side of the business has grown so much that I set up The Net Advantage Ltd in April 2011 to handle to multinational clients I was starting to pick up – worldwide domination awaits

Outside of work I’m wife to a gorgeous husband and mum to two beautiful boys who keep me on my toes 24/7! If I ever get any free time I like the simple pleasures in life: exploring beautiful scenery, going to the cinema or indulging in my love of food and fine wine (more of that below).

4. I can’t sing for toffee
5. I love Gerbera
6. I was born in 1974 and I’m a definite scorpio, sting in the tail

9. I drive fast – only way to drive
