After over 20 years as an experienced professional in the mobile communication industry spanning several continents, Europe, Africa and America working in Major Mobil telecoms organizations such as Vodafone, O2, Verizon wireless, Erisccon etc, I decided to diversify and use my skills and experience to run a thriving interiors and soft furnishings business in South Oxfordshire with my co-owner and a team of experienced professionals. Now, after 8 very successful years we have sold the business and I am staying on in a managerial/consultancy capacity part time.
