Managing Director of Griffin and King Limited, Chartered Accountant and Licensed Insolvency Practitioner. After graduating with a degree in Law, I decided to go into accountancy and qualified with one of the leading national firms before joining Griffin & King in 1985. I became a partner in 1988 and specialised in advising new start-ups as well as advising established client companies.My background has given me a thorough insight into the highs and lows of running a business. I am well aware of the difficulties in which businesses can find themselves. As an accountant, I have been at the sharp end of dealing with my clients' problems, constantly monitoring and advising them through the good times and bad. Understanding the importance of these skills, I have built a team at Griffin & King who provide unique skills to help and turn around struggling businesses.As a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, I have a vast amount of experience in both personal and corporate insolvency and am frequently requested to write articles for the local media on debt related issues. I've lived in Stourbridge for the last 25 years and my two boys have now left home so I've done all the kids football things - so all the more time for me and Julie! Unfortunately, my dad told me I had to be a Wolves fan and Julie had the same choice - but there's not many grounds we haven't seen!When I'm not working or chasing after the Wolves I'm probably running - I've now done the Chicago and Edinburgh marathons - but I think I might retire from marathon running now! Don't like DIY or gardening.
