Vicky Pearce

Compliance Officer

Professionally

Vicky is a highly qualified compliance professional, holding Advance Financial Planning Certificate and the designation Chartered Financial Planner. Her 20 years’ experience in the financial services sector started as a cashier in a small building society, working her way up the ladder to become a mortgage advisor and financial planner within the bank assurance world, before changing focus towards compliance.

Vicky’s favourite part of the job is the team, they are a great bunch of people who make being in the office not feel like work.

Personally

Vicky has two cocker spaniels Tigs & Lily who are her priority now her children are grown and have left home, whenever it’s possible they come to the office. Vicky is the membership officer for the PFS Manchester region committee, and gets actively involved with many of the working groups within the professional body the APCC.

Outside of work Vicky enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and loves to travel, ticking a new place off the bucket list each year.

In the UK, Vicky enjoys walking, trying to hunt out a new local walk every weekend to ensure the spaniels have new places to explore.

In the spotlight

On an ideal weekend, you can find me

In the hills somewhere with my other half and my dogs walking.

My favourite holiday destination is

This is a hard one as I have been to so many fabulous places.

My favourite song to play in the car is

Anything by Pink!

The first album I bought was

The Dollar Album, by Dollar

If I could be any fictional character, I would be

The one suggested by Karl Pilkington in An Idiot Abroad, Bullsh** Man! Who calls ppl out when they are talking rubbish.

If I could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, I would win a medal in

Stroking my pets, I always seem to have one on my lap or at the side of me, and I just can’t help but stroke them, I do it unconsciously.

When the dessert menu arrives, I’m looking for

Sticky toffee pudding, yum…

The three qualities that draw me to new people are

Humility, integrity and optimism.

My pet peeve is

People who say that they will do something but then don’t do it.

The best gift I’ve ever received is

A dyson hairdryer, it is amazing!

The three people at my dream dinner party would be

Tony Robbins, Richard Branson and Maggie Thatcher

The three small things that make my day better are

Tigs, Lily and Linus, my dogs and cat. There is nothing like coming home to a waggy tailed spaniel who is delighted to see you at the end of a long day.
