In my most recent employment, I was the Awards Programme Manager for Taste of the West - the Regional Food Group for the South West of England.  I left this role in 2023 to take some time our for my family.  I am, therefore, able to start a new role immediately. 

My most relevant education was at Hove College where I undertook an NVQ 3 in Business & Marketing, with a refresher in shorthand and typing but this was, I have to be honest, nearly 30 years ago!  I am very young at heart and keen to learn new skills. 

Everyday is a school day!
