Kerry has worked for ILC since its inception, having previously worked in finance for the majority of her career.
She’s therefore responsible for the group’s finances, but Kerry is also a familiar face at our events in her capacity as a key member of the leadership team.
Since ILC was formed, Kerry has built and maintained good relations with people within the Motor sector and hopes to do the same with the Home and Commercial division.
When she’s not being kept busy by ILC’s accounts, Kerry is a full-time mum to daughters Daisy and Polly. She’s also a keen traveller and loves staying active, she’s a regular at the gym and on the tennis court.
