Ann Frost (company Secretary)

After leaving business college, Ann worked in a local firm of stock brokers, firstly as a junior in the stock transfer department working her way to the position of secretary to the senior partner. In 1977, Ann jointly formed D.W.Frost (Wholesale Nurseries) Ltd with her husband David, having previously assisted with the running of David Frost (Trees) Ltd, which included a garden centre, nursery and landscaping department. Knowing very little about plants, Ann had to learn very quickly and through 35 years running the office and working in the plant centre when required, Ann has gained considerable experience in the industry. Ann now oversees the running of the office and attends to all HR issues and other duties that fall outside the remit of the other staff.

Hobbies: Horse riding, Reading, Classical Music and playing the piano.
