Dawn has over 30 years of experience in credit control. Before joining Leathes Prior in 2007 she was East Regional Credit Control Co-ordinator for GCap Media plc for 14 years. Dawn says "Credit control was a completely different career choice to that which I had looked into when I was at school but I think this was the right path for me to take and I certainly wouldn’t want to do anything else!"
Alongside her role as Credit Control Manager, Dawn sits within the Dispute Resolution Team where she also manages the debtcollector service, assisting both businesses and individuals with the recovery of undisputed debts under £25,000.
When not working, Dawn enjoys gardening, walking her dogs, pilates, singing, and something she never thought she would say – "I enjoy running. My daughter used to say that if ever you saw me running then you should probably run too!"
In 2016 our beautiful daughter Maisie was diagnosed with a brain tumour which had a catastrophic effect on hers and our lives. Sadly, on 15 August 2022, aged 17 and following a seven-year battle, Maisie passed away. Since then, I have been a volunteer with Finnbar’s Force, a local charity set up in memory of Finnbar Cork who also sadly passed away following a brain tumour in 2016. The charity helps to support families and children diagnosed with brain tumours and other forms of childhood cancer. #bemoremaisie is my daughter’s legacy which is to continue to raise awareness about brain tumours whilst helping other families get the help and support they need.
We had a saying during Maisie’s journey which was to 'Never Give up – Never Give in' which is something I have adapted into my everyday life and it has given me the push to try many new things, all with Maisie’s nod of approval although sometimes I can almost hear her silent disapproving eye roll!
I would like to thank you very much for your help and for providing sound advice throughout the last few stressful weeks. I will be highly recommending your services to my friends and colleague if they need it.
Just like to say thank you to Dawn for dealing with my claim very professionally, she kept me informed with everything going on, many thanks.
