A bit about my role
As Chief Finance Officer at Inspire North, I lead our finance team, shape our IT strategy and systems, and serve as the organisation’s Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO). My day-to-day work focuses on ensuring financial sustainability, supporting teams with robust financial planning, safeguarding our data and systems, and contributing to strategic decisions that help drive our mission forward.
How Long Have I Been with Inspire North?
I joined Inspire North in 2023, bringing experience from roles at St Anne’s Community Services, FGH, and Orchard Care Homes.
What I Love Most About Working Here
The people. I’m lucky to work alongside fantastic colleagues who share the same values. Whether I’m in the office or visiting services, I’m always greeted with a smile and a friendly face—it’s a genuinely uplifting place to be.
The Value That Resonates Most With Me
For me, it’s all about people. We’re a people-first organisation—from the tenants and clients we support, to our frontline staff and back-office teams. By treating everyone as individuals and with respect, we’ve built an inclusive culture that brings out the best in everyone.
What I’m Passionate About Outside of Work
My three children. Being a dad is the most important role I have. I love spending time outdoors with them—camping, adventuring, and trying to stay fit (mostly to keep up with them!).
