“A client recently told me that they found my honest and open approach refreshing. I enjoy working with clients to explore different solutions and find the right answer for them. I apply the same level of openness and transparency with clients and my team alike.

“I love supporting people achieve their goals, whether that’s helping clients deliver on a transaction, supporting individuals in the next step of their career or mentoring new mums and dads as they navigate the challenges of working parenthood."

Outside of work, Kim loves spending time with her family and two extremely naughty dogs and can often be found wandering the fields of the West Country.
