Andrea began her career with Alliance & Leicester, progressing from teller to mortgage advisor whilst also gaining professional CMAP qualifications. After 26 years, she joined John Francis Estate Agent as their Mortgage Consultant and covered their 6 Pembrokeshire Offices before retiring in 2015.

Tragically, in 1983 Andrea’s son died of a cot death at the age of 10 weeks. Her husband, herself and young daughter were left bereft. The family was supported by their extended family and close network of friends who came together during this terrible time.

At that time in Pembrokeshire, the service to support children who had been bereaved was not available for her daughter. Andrea is passionate about ensuring that the support is in place for other families who experience the death of a child. 

Andrea was born in Pembrokeshire and is married with two grown up children.
