Front of House

I am not really into law but happily work for a law firm. I enjoy exercise as in running and various strength building exercises. I was in the casino business for about 40 years and worked at a casino in South Africa called Sun City which is next to the Pilanesburg Game Reserve. I owned a Land Rover and did game drives into the reserve at least twice a month. I also travelled to Botswana and Namibia on a regular basis. After Sun City I moved to Namibia and opened two casinos, one in Swakopmund and one in Windhoek. To cut a long story short, I moved to Manchester in 2016 and managed to get a job in a casino in Stockport as a receptionist. After five years the opening came up for a receptionist for Barings Law. I applied, had an interview and the rest is history.
