With over 30 years of experience within the public & private sector across many sectors including manufacturing, wholesale, retail, supply chains, service industries including European business projects I have successfully built and maintained strong stakeholder networks, locally, regionally, nationally and Europe wide that allows continuous network / project development.

I consider myself hardworking and a loyal mature individual, who adapts easily with the ability to motivate and direct others in order to meet set objectives and goals. I always strive to achieve a very high standard in all project / service delivery.

To service and perform on these business platforms it has been vital in engaging with partner stakeholders – Chambers of Commerce – Local Authorities – Business support networks – Sector Skills councils – Education establishments – Industry & Commerce – BIS – Funding agencies UK & European – Training & Development establishments – UKTI – Embassies (on rare occasions).
