Running your own small business can be quite isolating and I work on my own – it’s good to be part of something and have opportunities to join networking and training events, or use some of the online support and forums.
Real name:
I started out my working career in the City with Lloyds Bank where I worked for 14 years.
My next role couldn't have been more different, as PA to the Chief Executive at Smithfield Market, here I learnt about the history of the City of London, its links to the Corporation of London, The Guildhall, Mansion House and the Lord Mayor of London. I also became a Freeman of the City of London.
I also first found my connection to the City Livery Companies, which started a long and interesting career with these historic organisations and their wonderful Livery Halls!
