Chief Executive and co-founder of self direct; a social enterprise dedicated to promoting changes in the social and health market-place so that people that need support are in control of their support, their lives and live life in a way that makes sense to them. Self direct worked in partnership with other like minded organisations and individuals to find new, imaginative and innovative ways to bring about the changes needed in the social and health market-place. Self direct believed that any changes should be driven by people who have personal experience of how services affect lives and many of self direct's associates have this experience.After 5 years of self direct trailing the blaze, many other organisations took up the challenge of delivering training in this area across the UK.
