It's a tad too late to prune it this year in my opinion as you risk Silver leaf disease, Derrick. You also need to let it establish so I would have left it unpruned this year anyway. Here's a link to pruning fan-trained trees (including plums) from the RHS:

Many thanks. I'll wait until Spring before I get out the secauteurs!!
