Meet the Team
A beauty parade or a rogues gallery, we know not, but here is your chance to get to know a little bit about the people and personalities that make up maloco + associates.
All of our staff are trained so that they can discharge their duties in a way that best serves our clients. As has been said elsewhere within these pages it's something we feel passionate about. Yet behind each efficient ( and friendly ) façade lurk some dark secrets.

First record bought: Metal Guru – T Rex First Memory: drenching my grandfather with ice cold water from a hose as he sat bare chested in the family ice cream factory one summer cleaning intricate parts of the refrigeration unit and then running in blind panic as he screamed in shock! Favourite Dessert: Ice cream ( it's an Italian thing! ) Most flavours but not mint! Finding the perfect combination is a life long quest. Childhood dream job: architect, author or footballer Favourite childhood TV programme: The Man from UNCLE. Ilya Kuriakin was my favourite. Last Holiday destination: Summer holiday Italy - yet again ! Barga in Tuscany - my granparents' home town. Had a few days away in October in Ullapool. When did you last laugh: Gary Tank Commander has been making me giggle a fair bit of late. Principal Tasks: providing a vision, drive and support to an exceptional staff, domestic conveyancing on behalf of clients, devising and directing marketing and PR initiatives. Strengthening and developing the brand and ethos that I want to be identified as the "maloco way" |

First record bought: I Don't Like Mondays - Boomtown Rats First Memory: I think it is my little brother (a strapping 39 year old now) throwing up on me.

First record bought: Freebird - Lynyard Skynard. I had hippy tendencies at a young age. First Memory: Living in Bahrain when my dad worked there. Favourite Dessert: Apple crumble and ice cream Childhood dream job: Nurse until I decided I didn't like blood. Favourite childhood TV programme: Little House on the Prairie Last Holiday destination: Believe it or not Barga, Italy, where Michael's family are from. We first went a couple of years ago before I worked with maloco + associates. Why his grandparents ever left is a mystery. When did you last laugh: There is always something to laugh at. Principal Tasks: I am a member of the Specialist Paralegal Association and among the first paralegals to be registered by the Law Society of Scotland to their accredited scheme. Using my knowledge built up over the last 30 years of working in the law I manage client case work. This includes carrying out work in relation to missives, the examination of deeds and preparation of securities and other documents. I particulary enjoy the contact I have with clients and doing the job well. The chocolates always taste better when they have been earned and a client has gone to the bother of expressing their gratitude. |
