“I left school in the mid seventies and joined a small engineering firm, doing a five year apprenticeship as a toolmaker. After this I moved around within the engineering world, finally ending up in British Telecom as a field engineer in 1986. This is where I stayed for the rest of my working career and during that period I saw huge changes, not only in the business but also across the world; the internet, mobile phones, laptops, emails and so much more. The last twenty four years of my career was spent managing various teams of engineers, with ten years at BT’s innovation centre (Adastral Park).
After retiring in 2024, I found the The Befriending Scheme and I became a volunteer at the Red Rose Community Farm. Here I’m able put to use all my DIY skills, drive the mini bus alongside supporting the members. I am privileged to have two children and four grandchildren who all live locally too.”
“My life’s been quite an adventure, including spending a decade living in South Africa working in the music industry and in event production. I’ve spent the majority of my career helping organisations to connect with their audience and become more trusted by aligning brand, culture, customer experience and communications. I’m proud to have achieved several long-held ambitions, so far including being a Mum to two sons, becoming a therapeutic foster carer and achieving my Masters in Marketing Leadership.
I’m a purpose-driven person who’s strongly motivated to do my bit and make a difference. Having done quite a bit of volunteering in my past, and working with young people with diverse needs in my capacity as foster carer, I was keen to see where I could contribute to a local organisation that’s making a significant difference to service users and their families in our area. I’m inspired by what The Befriending Scheme has achieved so far, and excited at being able to support the amazing opportunities that lie ahead for us as an organisation and our members.”
