In addition, Catherine has played a crucial role in supporting senior management in expanding Flint Bishop’s offering into residential debt solutions for several of the UK’s ‘Big Six’ energy suppliers, as well as driving operational strategy and implementing the firm’s vulnerability and treating customers fairly policies.
