Summary
Having run my own businesses for over 27 years I have learnt from experience how to run and manage a business.
This experience I can now pass on to other established or new start up companies, helping them organise and structure their business and develop for tomorrow.
Can I help you become the Bolder, Stronger organisation you want to be? one that makes a real difference to the people you serve. |
The financial crisis and the consequent loss of trust in the investor-driven and banking market has caused expansion to ethical, “values driven” investments. My years of experience with the Coop movement has prepared me with the grounding to help others.
I have assessed and advise on communications requirements and helped harness the cost benefits of modern technology. I have been there throughout the communications revolution and my experience holds the answer to making your systems run more efficiently, providing communications solutions.
