I am delighted to be supporting four small businesses as a volunteer mentor. Running a business can be a lonely place and sometimes just having a "sounding board" can make so much difference. I love sharing my experience, ideas, and contacts with my mentees. Mentoring is a very rewarding activity that can make a real difference to a business.

I headed the Sales Team and was responsible for building and maintaining strong relationships with our referral partners, (mainly HR Consultants and IFA's) as well as sourcing new ones. It was important to me that when a partner referred one of thier clients to us, they knew that they could trust us and we would do a good job. I built systems and processes to ensure that all enquiries for employee benefits were followed up, and regular feedback delivered. A very happy 5 years with a lovely team.

Excellect, is a company with a heart. Our small professional team really care about our clients and have a real passion about delivering first class service. No call centres here - you speak to a "real person" who understands employee benefits and takes time to listen to a client's requirements. People who care about people. As Senior Relationship Manager, my role allows me to do what I enjoy most, which is to build strong relationships with our working partners and to help businesses. My two favourite things!! I have a genuine interest in people and businesses, gained from many years working as a business financial adviser. Who would have guessed that in what is likely to be the final role of my career, I have saved the best until last.
