Since moving back to Northern Ireland she has been managing the brand communications for organisations and businesses both in public and private sectors for nine years.

Back in 2008, Eleanor launched and project managed the Western Morning News’ Think Local campaign which encouraged people to think of their local economy and spend their pound as local as local can be. This was an ongoing campaign which attracted local and national attention in the media and also gained endorsements from prominent politicians at Westminster. This was a campaign which Worldwide Financial Planning was proud to sponsor.

Eleanor says she’s delighted to be working with Worldwide Financial Planning and says she joins a superb team of Independent Financial Advisers who are extremely professional and are proud to say they put their clients’ needs first.
