Having firstly graduated in Business Studies and Marketing from Nottingham / Trent Polytechnic over 30 years ago, I have been involved in many product launches and campaigns.
As a Product Manager, Campaign Manager, Channel Marketing Manager, Account Director, Marketing Consultant; I am now marketing my own VA business.
Below is a quick resume of some of the products I have marketed over years; perhaps indicative of my passion for new ways of working. I was in at the start of the some of the most important technological advances such as home office, digital cameras and mobile phones!

I have had a challenging and variable career and now enjoy supporting my Clients in whatever way I can to make their business run more smoothly. One of the aspects I particularly enjoy is working on new digital platforms and working out new processes and ways of working.
It's always interesting working with new teams of people and keeping up with emerging markets and fresh ways of keeping on top of daily tasks.
If you would like any help supporting your business just let me know as I currently have around 8 hours a week spare capacity!
