More about Beth

Outside of work I love to spend time outdoors with my two cavapoos and also enjoy going to the gym and running; and I have run both full and half marathons. I also love to travel and enjoyed a period of extended leave that Hempsons allowed me to take in order to travel solo around North America and Canada in 2023.
