Motivated by the desire to own his own business, Darren naturally understood the needs of businesses. Darren’s professional empathy allowed him to apply his key strengths and work experience in finance, to play a key role in the success he has found today.

First Class Financial Group Executive Chairman Clive Barrett said “Darren is testament to the success one can enjoy by following the First Class Accounts system. We’re extremely proud of what he’s achieved as a business owner and as a role model for the First Class Brand.”
