Hello thanks for stopping by! Updating your LinkedIn profile isn’t easy after you have had a break from the corporate world to start & have a family. Whilst taking this break I started a small pet services business (random right!) to keep me busy and the cogs turning. This however, me being me, turned from a hobby, to employing people.

I needed to concentrate on having a family, the main reason I had slowed my career down in the first place. Finally 18th April 2019 we had beautiful baby girl called Georgie.
