🌼 Outside of Work
When she’s not managing the home, Amrit enjoys cooking, cleaning (yes, really!), and going to the gym. She’s a fan of Love Island and never says no to a malted milk biscuit—especially with a strong cup of tea (three sugars!).
If she could do any job for a day, she’d be Prime Minister—so she could change tax rules and improve pension access for everyone.
