Meet Our Team

After playing football professionally for Crewe Alexandra, I opted for a career in Financial Services back in 2008. I have worked at Britannia building society, Lloyds bank and then decided to set up Giliker Flynn Independent Wealth Ltd with my Wife Fran in January 2015. I have a real interest in business and love both aspects of my job, which involves advising clients and managing the company. Whilst it is impossible for me to ever completely switch off from work, I try and find as much time as possible to spend with my two little girls. I also think it is very important to live an active, healthy lifestyle. I love playing golf, and keeping fit. I have run a full Marathon, along with several half marathons, and enjoy Hyrox style training in the gym. I've also done some boxing and won a white collar fight. Finally, I'm an avid supporter of the Peter Pan Centre children's charity, and help them organise their annual golf day, along with raising funds for them via several other events throughout the year.

After qualifying as a Solicitor in 2009, I decided to opt for a career in Financial Services. I have been in the industry for almost 20 years, and for 15 of these I have worked as a regulated Independent Financial Adviser. In 2015 I decided, along with my Husband Chris, to set up our business Giliker Flynn Independent Wealth Ltd. I've always enjoyed the technical side of advice, particularly number crunching and using Excel! Aside from enjoying time with my daughters and rescue dog Percy, I love to keep fit. I exercise 5 days a week, regularly going to the gym or playing tennis/padel with Chris. I'm also a dance lover and go to weekly hip hop/commercial classes.

I joined Giliker Flynn in July 2022 after graduating with an upper Second Class Honours in Law. Since then I've progressed from Paraplanner to Financial Adviser, gaining my CII Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning along the way. I'm now working towards my Advanced Diploma and Chartered status. Outside of work I love to travel and stay active - hiking somewhere new, finding a good beach, or going camping are all favourites. I'm also starting to find my feet with running. Most of all, I'm a massive animal lover and family person at heart.

Before I joined the Giliker Flynn team I worked as a Facilities Management Officer for the Stoke on Trent City Council and JCB. Prior to taking this role, I worked as a freelance interpreter/translator within the private and public sector. I’m known for my friendliness and enthusiasm about my work/customer service. I would describe my personality as positive, approachable and compassionate. As an avid mountain biker and hiker, I love the outdoors. I’m passionate about travel, exploration and food, and have a variety of hobbies - from playing sports to baking “healthy” cakes to reading and playing board games. I’m also a massive fan of that place called “the gym”! My motto? Don’t follow your dreams. Chase them!

I have previously worked for the Co-operative Group for 15 years in the Bank Reconciliations department for the travel side of the business, where I worked my way up to the Development and Integration Manager within the department until I was made redundant in 2013. Since then, I have worked in the Financial Services industry within Church Street Financial Planning and Giliker Flynn. My interests include long walks with my family and my Cavachon, Tilly. I love Wales and enjoy family holidays in our caravan in Abersoch. I have passed level 1 and 2 in British Sign language – (it was a few years ago, so very rusty). My children love donkeys. During the summer months we attend every monthly open day, visiting the donkey sanctuary in Derbyshire.

I started my working life in 1986 at W H Smith as a Sales Assistant in the Record Department and worked my way up to Department Manager. When the branch closed in 1992, I was made redundant and moved to a similar company but after four years and then the birth of my son, I decided to change direction. I have worked in Financial Services administration for over 25 years, working for several Independent Financial Adviser firms in that time. I also undertook book-keeping services for those companies and others, via my own company. I started working a few hours per week for Giliker Flynn in August 2017 then joined on a permanent basis, as Deputy Office Manager, in July 2018. My main interests are music, shopping and travelling. My favourite places to go on holiday are Italy and Spain but I also like North Wales. I enjoy walking and swimming and spending time with my family.

I joined the Giliker Flynn Team in November 2025. Following my graduation from University with a degree in Law and Business Management, I chose to opt for a career in Financial Services. I have worked in an administration role within the industry since 2017. I'm currently working through my CII Level 4 qualification and hope to develop into a competent adviser at some point in the future. My hobbies include socialising and traveling with friends. I'm also a very keen runner!

I joined the company in July 2026, having recently graduated from Aston University with a 2:1 in Accounting and Finance. I have also been working in the financial services industry since 2024, giving me valuable experience alongside my studies. I'm keen to build a career in the industry, and my goal is to become a financial adviser in the near future. The support and guidance I've received from Chris and Fran has been great, and I'm looking forward to continuing to learn from them and develop my skills during my time here. I'm enjoying learning more about the different roles and responsibilities within the business and gaining practical experience that will help me progress towards becoming an adviser. Outside of work, I'm an active gym-goer and enjoy training boxing. I also enjoy travelling and spending time with friends.
