Image of Anne Marie smilingI worked at Erinaceous Insurance as Operations Manager before I set up Digital Inventory in 2002.  I have extensive knowledge and experience in management of situations, customer service delivery and relationship building.  I like the comraderie of a team environment and also work functionally on my own. 

When I was at Erinaceous, the Company Underwriter and I branched off and set up Digital Inventory which I speak about in my job roles to follow.  I have since widened this offering in my capacity as ‘Housing Inspector’.  Day to day, I find myself in challenging situations given the nature of my service so critical thinking, sensitivity, little tact and a lot of diplomacy are skills I use regularly.

I started the LLB Law degree with Open University in 2013, I am working through module 1 of year 3 presently.  I have also registered and paid to take foundation entry exam at IRPM and remain a member of the Chartered Institute of Housing.
