Sue is a native Plymothian but spent six years in Cardiff where she obtained an accountancy degree from University College Cardiff (now the Cardiff Business School ) and qualified as a Chartered Accountant at the tender age of twenty three.
She returned to Plymouth in 1985 joining Coopers & Lybrand where she specialised in taxation, moving on to Ernst & Whinney in January 1987 staying until the office closed in 1992, collecting a husband on the way. From 1992 to 1997 she was a partner in a local firm of Chartered Accountants.
She became a member of the Institute of Taxation in 1993, having never got around to sitting the exams before, and became a Fellow of the Chartered Certified Accountants in 1997. Sue is the “tax bod” of the practice.
Sue is actively involved in local business and community affairs. She is a Past President of Plymouth Mayflower Rotary Club and currently Treasurer (occupational hazard!).
Sue “doesn’t mind” going along to watch either Plymouth Albion RFC or Somerset County Cricket Club or the occasional Test Match with William.
Her hobbies include gardening (as long as she doesn’t have to get her hands dirty!), visiting the varied productions of the Theatre Royal, Plymouth , cooking when she can’t persuade William to take her out, and teddy bears collect her.
