Lindsay enters the world of Finance from down stage left. Having previously worked in West End Theatre production offices and as a Theatrical Agent, becoming a Protection Specialist might seem random - however things are more alike than they seem. For 15 years Lindsay worked to protect the best interests of Performers as they booked roles and looked after the needs of Creatives moving around the world recreating West End Productions. Now Lindsay is here at Westways Financial to help you protect your family's best interests and needs. Outside of work Lindsay is a Mum to two gorgeous girls and you will normally find her teaching Dance or directing Amateur Dramatics in the local area or watching a Show!

Olive is known as the go-getter of the family, especially when playing fetch. She has a keen interest in sticks, bones and anything that moves in the wind. If you've had a bad day or you're feeling stressed then she is the lady to help, always happy to meet anyone who is part of the Westways family.
