My passion and expertise is in developing and delivering business transformation, growth and sustainability strategies and programmes from design, delivery through to evaluation. These are achieved through understanding my clients core values and helping them develop, the strategic alliances and collaborations, and in writing and winning tenders/grant applications. I have helped my clients secure in excess of £140 million of contract/grant value in the skills, employability, children, youth and community infrastructure sectors to deliver impactful services and change lives.
With nearly 25 years of experience in the Further Education (FE) sector, I bring a deep understanding of the skills landscape and the complexities of FE. I specialise in post-16 education and skills policy and implementation, strategic planning and development, data analysis, market intelligence, bid writing and tender development, project management, employer engagement, facilitation, and providing skills solutions that are innovative and achievable.
