A bit about me...
I am the CBDO for Gooding Accounts Ltd and am based at our Melksham office. I qualified as an Accountant over 10 years ago whilst my children were still very young.
I have two children who are now both at senior school and if not out and about with them, I enjoy going to the gym and running. I love challenges and have completed several ultra marathons. I believe that your body is capable of anything if you put your mind to it.
