Went to St Andrews School and matriculated in 1963. Studied Radiography after leaving school and worked for a further two years at Baragwanath Children’s Hospital.

Did a crash course in bookkeeping when Ken started the business in 1973. Have three wonderful sons – two of which have joined the business along with their wives.

Love the bush, scuba diving, reading, travelling and spending time with our beautiful grandchildren. It has been an incredible time at Barker Insurance and I have loved seeing it grow, especially since the boys joined us.
