In Kelly's own words

Managing a team of 10 Claims Handlers specialising in handling claims arising out of Financial Lines products. This includes highly complex claims against Brokers, Solicitors, Accountants and Construction Professionals, often of significant value. I am a qualified solicitor with over 20 years experience of working the Insurance, Regulatory and Residential Property Sectors. I qualified as a Chartered Legal Executive in 2017. I subsequently continued studying part time to pass the GDL and LPC with distinction, in 2023 before a Masters Degree Dissertation considering whether the current send framework is fit for purpose and provides access to justice for stakeholders. I am a mother to two autistic children and a fierce advocate for disability equality, equity and inclusion for all.
