Justine Harper

How do you describe what you do?

I look after large ex-custody clients and handle transfers, book cost and performance queries.

What's next for you professionally?

You never know what is around the corner but I think that as long as I am providing a good service to my team and have new challenges, I just want to carry on doing what I do well and what I enjoy.

How did you start off in your career?

I started my Investment career in 1997 at Albert E Sharp's Birmingham office working in the accounts department. From there, I have moved cities and firms and have worked in the back, middle and front office.

What's your favourite thing about your role?

I love solving complex problems and reconciliations and finding answers others can't. My broad industry experience helps me do this. I enjoy taking these queries off my team so they can focus on clients.

When you're not at work, what's your favourite thing to do?

I have recently bought a cottage so when not at work you can find me creating a new cottage garden or trying my hardest to redecorate and locating small pieces of furniture as my doors are really small!

What qualifications and memberships do you have?

Chartered Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment
