Meet Peter Ward
”I started out with Lloyds Bank from school and have been in finance ever since. Specialising in funding for professional practices for almost 25 years, I have assisted clients of all size from Sole Traders through to Corporate Groups and have a wealth of experience that enables me to provide the best advise to clients regardless of the project.
”I'm a keen skier and would do more if my knees permitted. I am trying to improve my golf game but my most used item is a ball retriever. I am ably assisted at work by Belle (his Black Labrador) who loves to bark at anyone approaching the door, particularly in the middle of a phone call.“
Meet Cathy Blessing
”I started in the finance world at the tender age of 18 and have never left!
”Initially forging a career for 20+ years working for large corporates such as Lloyds and GE Capital I became frustrated with a one size fits all mentality and found I preferred the personal independent approach so joined forces with Peter at Abacus.
”Customer satisfaction is at the core of everything we do and using my expertise to help customers find the best finance solution at the best price is why I do what I do.
”Having lived most of my life in the bustling city of Bristol I re-located to Devon a few years ago and now enjoy long walks on the beach with Brad, my (not so springy anymore) Springer Spaniel.
”Devon has also brought me a rescue chicken named Nugget who seems to think every day is a bring your chicken to work day.“
