About Me
I have lived in Surrey for the last 10 years. Prior to this I spent many years living overseas with my young family in a variety of different countries and been fortunate to have been exposed to many different cultures therefore I have a good understanding of how this may influence us. I am committed to Continued Professional Development (CPD).
My job is to assist you in finding the answer that is right for you. Not the answer that would be right for me - John Dolan
