Kelly Paddock - Managing Director
Kelly started her employment in Information Technology, working for an IT Training Company in Macclesfield. Starting her role as the company administrator, Kelly progressed to become one of the companies training advisors (after completing her D32/D33 certificates) and enjoyed training people who wished to return to work in new skills.
Kelly left that company after 8 years hoping to find a new challenge and was, in 2004, hired by Dr Clive Reading, Consultant Psychologist, as his PA. During her time working with Dr Reading Kelly learnt about the ins and outs of family law assessments from a psychological perspective and grew an understanding of what solicitors and clients require when involved in these proceedings.
