She is both a keen cyclist and motorcyclist having obtained her full motorcycle licence in 1983. Brenda became an IAM Advanced motorcycle rider in 2018 and an Advanced Driver in 2024.

Her experience as a lawyer and her cycling and motorcycling background gives her the edge when representing her clients.

She strongly believes that a first class service and personal representation from experienced lawyers really does make a difference, not only to the outcome of a case, but also to injured clients and their families.
