Sam Hearth

From retail to financial services, to early years education—and now back to financial services—my career has been a dynamic journey of evolution and reinvention. I began in retail selling shoes, where I developed a passion for customer engagement and sales. My early years in financial services provided a strong foundation, which I built upon for a decade before welcoming my children and transitioning into a 20-year career in early years education. In that field, I not only nurtured young minds but also built a successful business, learning invaluable lessons from both its triumphs and its challenges. The experience of losing that business has only deepened my resilience and sharpened my strategic vision. Today, I re-enter financial services with a unique blend of insights and determination, ready to make a difference to people once again.

Emma Kirkley

With over 25 years of hospitality experience I have learnt to advocate for myself and others when it comes to health and wellbeing within the workplace. I now help raise MH awareness both in work and out, especially that relating to maternal and paternal health. I also love to learn new things and I am currently venturing into the world of podcasts!
