ACMA-qualified Alison joined RIFT Group in 2021 as Chief Finance Officer and Managing Director of RIFT R&D, bringing with her over 25 years of experience. She specialises in building board-level strategies in highly regulated markets, excelling in finance, strategic planning, and people management to drive operational revitalisation, customer service excellence and P&L growth.
Before RIFT, Alison spent 24 years at Saga PLC as Finance Director and later Chief Operating Officer for the Insurance Broking division. She also supported private equity-owned businesses with financial and operational leadership. Her strategic oversight consistently enhances business performance, efficiency, and revenue generation.

Alison says: “Working in the tax sector takes absolute precision and full commitment to customer service. The rules and regulations around tax are often complex and can change quickly, leaving people unsure of where they stand – or even facing HMRC inquiries and penalties before they realise there’s a problem. These are areas where RIFT truly excels, and our expertise shines through in everything we do.”
