When Mel’s
at work
Before joining Fiducia, Mel worked in customer-facing retail roles. She also gained valuable experience in administration and service-based positions.
Looking for a career that would fit around family life while offering a fresh challenge, she decided to make the move into financial services. Although finance was a completely new industry to her, it was one she had always found interesting.
How Mel
switches off
Mel lives with her husband and their three sons, and much of family life revolves around football, with weekends often spent supporting her children’s teams and cheering on West Ham United.
She also plays netball every week and enjoys crime and true-story dramas. Recently, the family bought a touring caravan, which they are renovating ready for future adventures together.
