She also provides banking and finance advice to private developers and investors. Gemma is accustomed to working cross borders, taking instructions from clients in the US and Germany and is head of IBB’s banking and finance team.

Gemma is an adrenaline junkie - skydiving, rock climbing and scuba diving being some of her pursuits, but also other adrenaline based challenges including surfing, kite surfing, bungee jumping and snowboarding. Slowing down in more recent years, Gemma lives in Hertfordshire and is a keen walker who is desperate for a dog when commitments allow.
