As a female entrepreneur running a business in the traditionally male-oriented science and innovation sector, I previously found it difficult to meet other women in similar situations, but I have found many inspirational role models through Enterprising Women. Enterprising Women has helped me grow by giving me insight into how successful companies are run, and offering business support and advice.
Real name:
I am passionate about people achieving their potential. As well as being Managing Director of consultancy business Advance Performance, I am a non-exec of Weaver Vale Housing Trust in Cheshire and a governor and audit committee member at Runshaw College, Leyland.
A history graduate, I trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant and then left practice after 14 years to set up my own business.
Mum of 2 boys, I love theatre, art exhibitions, baking ( particularly cakes!) and walking our dog.
Recently I participated in Enterprising Women's Growth Programme in Nottingham
