I drove down to Wales,on the afternoon of the 18th,to meet up with forum experts Andrew Graveson and Melanie Giles.I was due to interview Andrew for IVA.co.uk TV the next day and as I was staying over[400mile round trip]we thought that we would get to gether for a drink and natter the evening before.
Melanie kindly picked me up from my hotel at around 7pm and we met Andrew in a wine bar a couple of miles away in the Cardiff Bay centre.After a few glasses of wine we walked to a local pasta restuarant and quickly downed a three course dinner.Before I knew it had gone midnight and we called it a night.Many thanks to both Melanie and Andrew for a great evening[more thanks to Andrew for picking up the restuarant bill].
The next morning I walked to Andrew’s offices located just opposite Cardiff Bay station and we nipped out and grabbed a coffee.Adrian from Film 121 arrived shortly afterwards and we set up the meeting room ready for the interview.
Andrew owns a debt management company,Brightoak,and also is a mortgage broker.I found his insight into the debt industry most interesting and could sense that he believes very strongly in customer service and the right advice being given as an absolute priority.He seemed to have the same ethos and beliefs as Melanie when it comes to debt issues.
A very enjoyable couple of days and I look forward to meeting Andrew again as he is a regular attendee of both our debt debates and frugal friends meetings
