Henry Hick

After 3 years of service with BDO and 7 in total in Ethics and Independence compliance, I have decided to pursue personal and professional opportunities outside financial services. I am looking for new opportunities and am open to a whole new career.

I volunteer on a weekly basis running an Explorer Sea Scout Unit in Southampton. This includes running week nights and planning and taking the young people to Camps throughout the year (UK and International).
