Meet the team

Norma

Norma joined Frenkel Topping in 1998, working her way up to Technical Support Manager until she retired in 2015. She retired early as her mother was sadly poorly with Alzheimers, and passed that year.

 

Norma then became a carer, along with her sister, for their father until he passed in 2018. She was delighted to be asked if she would be a Trustee and Charity Manager for the Foundation in 2019, as she wanted to do something rewarding.

 

In her role as Charitable Manager and Trustee, Norma has been investing her time and energy into relaunching and re-establishing the Foundation.

Mark

Mark joined Frenkel Topping in 2010, rising through the ranks to his current position as Group Commercial Director and Managing Director. As well as heading up the company’s litigation support team, Mark is also the company’s lead expert for periodical payments/structured settlements, with industry-wide recognition. Having spent more than a decade at Frenkel Topping, Mark understands the devastating impact of severe personal injury and clinical negligence cases and is a proud Trustee of the Charitable Foundation.

Richard

Richard joined Frenkel Topping as a Director in 1991 and is now the Group’s CEO. His brother broke his back falling out of a window when he was only 18 and has been paralysed from the waist down ever since. The accident has given Richard a good insight into the effect a catastrophic injury can have on an individual and their family, and it’s this first-hand experience that drives Richard’s passion for the Charitable Foundation and the lifeline it provides.
