I spent the first half of 2020 writing a novel. A bucket list item that has been five years in the making. The result is something of an "Eat, Pray, Love" mash up with "Bridget Jones's Diary" for the "Fleabag" generation. I hope to publish it very soon.

My position at CT was wide and varied - which I loved. Essentially I had three key areas of responsibility all relating to Employee Engagement. 1. Acquisition: I headed up the Recruitment Team. Collectively we were responsible for all of the talent attraction at CT. We championed personality, passion and potential. Educating the business to select candidates not just for their skills and experience but for how they fit into the culture, live our values and grow with us. I believe candidates must be treated as customers and ensured their experience reflected the high standards and brilliant culture of this great brand. We did a lot of work to elevate the position of the employer brand to be seen as an employer of choice - steps ahead of competitors. 2. Communication: I was responsible for internal employee communications. I designed and launched an online Social Hub to connect people from all over the business like never before. The LINK (as we called it) is a vital source of connection, engagement and information. It was constantly evolving and innovating helping the business share and collaborate in exciting new ways. You'd love it! 3. Culture: I had the pleasure of driving CT’s Corporate Social Responsibility agenda and other Employee Engagement Initiatives. There was always have something going on; parties, pub quiz, art groups, Inspirational Speaker, sports teams, competitions... you name it. I delivered a complex Wellbeing Awareness strategy which supports a wide range of issues from Mental Health Issues, to Financial health, healthy eating and exercise. I established a relationship with new charity partner The Prince's Trust. In the first two years I led and oversaw countless activities that collectively raised over £250,000 to support the amazing work they do. The partnership was about more than money though, I also established a programme of opportunities for Young People from the PT to get involved with our business. Basically... we really gave a shirt!

My mission in this role was to attract, engage and secure the talent needed for the business to meet ambitious and exciting growth plans. This included an overhaul of all recruitment materials and tool and an award winning redesign and positioning of our employer brand.
