With over 40 years’ experience in payroll and operational leadership, I’ve built a career around driving meaningful change—whether that’s transforming complex systems, developing high-performing teams, or helping organisations work smarter and more efficiently. I’ve held senior roles across both public and private sectors, and I’m proud to have served as Chair of the Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals (CIPP) for three years, where I was also a board member for over ten years and tutor for the foundation degree for over 17 years.

After a period focusing on leadership roles within large organisations, I’m now returning to consultancy—bringing with me a renewed perspective, a wide range of experience, and a deep commitment to sharing knowledge. I specialise in supporting organisations through change, simplifying complexity, and building confidence and capability within teams.

At the heart of everything I do is a genuine care for people and a collaborative, hands-on approach that leaves a lasting impact.

Outside Work…

Outside of my professional work, I’m passionate about the arts and the power of creative expression and how it increases confidence. I’ve been actively involved in community theatre for many years, both on stage and behind the scenes. As Chair of CAODS for over seven years, Lincoln’s leading amateur theatre company, I helped bring together people of all ages and backgrounds to create powerful, award-winning productions that reflect the spirit of the local community and created a local choir that is now thriving, performing at many local events.

I’m also a keen photographer, with a love for both the stage and the natural world. Whether capturing the energy of a live performance or the quiet stillness of a landscape, photography helps me slow down and see the beauty in everything—from the dramatic to the everyday. It’s a way of connecting with the world around us, noticing the details others might miss, and finding light in unexpected places.
