Solid sales and marketing background with a keen commercial awareness evolved from sniffing around corporate environments; small/medium sized owner managed enterprises and national and regional charities.From prestige cars to plastic road cones; preloved fashion to off the beaten track holiday boltholes and most recently charitable causes - National Trust, British Heart Foundation and two incredible hospices; each has given me much to draw on in terms of experiences and and a network of inspiring people & when combined with my organisational ability, strategic approach & inclusive management style fuelled by a "make it happen" attitude the results can be awesome. Like my trusty hound, Charlie Chocolate I respond well to "treats/biscuits" and am a loyal committed leader of people, projects, plans. Put simply I like to make a positive difference.
