Amanda read law at Buckingham University although a keen interest in the arts resulted in a complete change of direction, leading to her working at Sotheby's in Bond Street for 15 years in the Fine Arts division, where she dealt with every aspect of auction administration, including the production of catalogues and the organisation of worldwide exhibitions.

On leaving London her original legal training paid dividends as a return to the law resulted in her involvement in the establishment of Moss Fallon.

Amanda retains a keen interest in the Arts and spends as much time as possible in Kenya, where she has a home on the coast.
