Profile details

Well a lot of people seem to split up them and work - for me the two are intrisically connected.  My main business is property in Marbella and through the many connections I have mande there over the years I can offer fantastic opportunities to people at the moment.  Far from the picture painted in the media Marbella is bustling chic and vibrant with many new restaurants opening.  James Hewitt (the Cad) has just opened the fabulous Polo Club.

We source properties where owners are in the postion of really needing to sell and typically offer discounts against todays valuations of 40-60%.  As the rental market there is still bouyant these are great investment opportunities for people with money in the bank not doing much!

I am always looking to recruit agents to work with us who have clients who could benefit and can offer great commissions to IFA's and mortgage brokers who may be feeling the pinch at the moment!

After living in Spain for 4 years had to come back to the UK and am now working for myself in a small front room and loving the freedom.

I also run a couple of other businesses - all from home which gives me the flexibilty and freedom that I love. www.boomeranggifts.co.uk has a fantastic - and growing selection of gifts for everyone in your life. We also have a great corporate and business gifts site www.boomerang-business-gifts.co.uk and can supply just about anything you can think of!! And the new site nearly finished and my baby www.pampereddivagifts.co.uk which should be up and running soon!

And another string which works really well with property is  www.shilou.co.uk . I work with a friend who imports an exclusive range of contemporary art deco inspired furniture. I am looking for Interior Designers both commercial and domestic and independent retailers to work with who would like something exclusive and different to offer their cleints.

I have lived or worked all over the world, now back in the midlands and loving it! Although having just been to Portugal I am looking at maybe moving there part time in the not too distant future. Working for myself is tops! And today's technology is so liberating. (When it works!!) I got married at 40 and thought that was when life began! Sadly it really did a few years after that when i was on my own again. Still single now but happily so and who knows what the future holds!! Someone to share aspirations and triumphs with would be great and i guess also the not so good moments.

When I'm just being me I love Yoga, just started running - maybe do a mini marathon one day if I got sufficiently inspired. For now it is enough just to do it. I love cooking big roast dinners or a huge lasagne and having a bunch of friends sitting around the table with copious amounts of wine and lots of time. Love discussions even heated. Love forward thinking people - they inspire me. Travel - well of course - anywhere specially where I've not been.
