Sue Gibbs' dad was an insurance salesman who had seven sons and three daughters. When he retired he hoped one of his sons would take over. They didn't so he sold the business. Then, two years later, Sue was recruited by the same firm for which her dad had worked.
“He was flabbergasted,” remembers Sue, “he didn't think I had any interest in matters financial because, of course, in those days, women didn't.” But Sue did have an interest and an uncanny ability with numbers married to a highly analytical mind which made her perfect for her role as a pioneer in the field of female financial planners.
