I set up Gamma Talent because I wanted to help charities meet their potential: be that by identifying clear strategic objectives, increasing their income or securing the most talented people. Based upon my professional and personal experience of working in and with the charity sector for 20, Gamma Talent focussed on 3 areas: recruitment, training and consultancy.

Based upon my professional and personal experience of working in and with the charity sector for 20, Gamma Talent focussed on 3 areas: recruitment, training and consultancy. These 3 areas complemented each other and allowed the business to have a real understanding of current issues and opportunities within the charity world - I think that was key to its success. Gamma Talent had a range of clients, all different in turnover and focus but mainly from the West Midlands. I'm very proud that the business was also the preferred recruitment supplier to some well-known West Mids charities. Show less

I had strategic management of Xoserve's corporate responsibility programme, directly overseeing the company's community affairs activities and our inclusion and diversity programme. I worked in an advisory capacity to my colleagues who oversaw other aspects of our responsible business work, such as wellbeing and sustainability.The role was extremely varied and I worked alongside all levels and disciplines, from the Chief Executive to our work experience students. I introduced the company’s first strategic charity partnership programme, raising over £30,000 which brought about a strategic focus to the impact we were making with our charitable giving. I created and implemented a skills-based employee volunteering programme, which saw 19% of the workforce develop their skills in Year 1. The company also has a charitable foundation, whereby I assumed the role of CEO, and I instigated 2 grant funding schemes and completed a governance review resulting in the writing and adoption of several policies.

My role was to enthuse companies across the country to support the hospital's continued excellence through donations, be it monetary, advice and introductions or gifts in kind. I sat within the Corporate Partnerships Team, working very closely with our Major Donor and Events teams. I am very proud of the relationships I was able to develop for the hospital, including securing the partnership which to this day, remains the largest ever corporate donor. However, I found that it wasn't all… Show more My role was to enthuse companies across the country to support the hospital's continued excellence through donations, be it monetary, advice and introductions or gifts in kind. I sat within the Corporate Partnerships Team, working very closely with our Major Donor and Events teams. I am very proud of the relationships I was able to develop for the hospital, including securing the partnership which to this day, remains the largest ever corporate donor. However, I found that it wasn't all about the biggest and or most well known corporate donors that motivated me - it was helping companies meet their community affairs goals, whatever these goals happened to be. I loved inviting companies to visit the hospital to explain just what it takes for an outstanding hospital like BCH to exist and then to subsequently develop programmes that were mutually beneficial.
