I come from a background of business/events management and entrepreneurship, having run several successful businesses in my hometown.  Through connections in this work, I also sit as chair on the board of a long-established local charity and I am a keen and active volunteer in my community.  I was asked to join the board of Vehicles for Change in 2020 because of this experience and accepted because of VFC's noble cause.  VFC is a truly inspiring charity and it is an honour to work with the whole team. 

I joined Vehicles for Change as a Trustee in August 2022 after retiring from a career in the pharmaceutical industry where I led teams in manufacturing and logistics through to sales and marketing, and then held a number of executive management positions in the UK and northern Europe. I have prior experience as a charity Trustee, and I provide pro-bono consultancy to small charities in the health and social care sector. Originally from Warwickshire, I now live in Hertfordshire with my husband. I am passionate about using my business experience and skills to help charities navigate the challenges they face and to provide more support to the communities that rely on them. I am so impressed with what the Vehicles for Change team has achieved and I want to help strengthen and expand the charity so that we can enable more people affected by disability to participate more fully in life opportunities.

I joined Vehicles for Change as a Trustee in 2018.  I have worked at National Star for 18 years and am currently working in Procurement.  Working here has given me a real insight and interest in disability and the many challenges which people with disabilities have to face. While working at National Star in 2011 I coordinated the development of the very first vehicle.  It was an exciting project and incredibly rewarding when we had our first prototype about 3 years later!  I believe Vehicles for Change with its fleet of RevoLOOs makes a positive difference to people with disabilities, enabling them to attend events etc which otherwise they couldn’t have attended.

I joined Vehicles for Change as a Trustee in 2023. I am a Sustainable Finance and ESG Consultant who helps firms on their journey to become more green, sustainable and social through finance and innovative debt solutions. Some of my key client sectors include global financial institutions, aviation, real estate, charity, sovereigns and utilities. I have a background in the disability charity sector having worked at Motability as an Analyst for 2 years, before moving into ESG Fund Management and ultimately Consultancy.

I joined VfC as a Trustee in 2023. Over the last 17 years I have worked within many types of organisations in many different sectors in strategy, governance and quality. Ensuring the right things are being done, in the right way, supporting the direction, focus and vision of an organisation is a passion of mine. 

In addition to this, I have 2 beautiful young boys. My youngest boy has Achondroplasia which, for him, means he struggles with, and will struggle with accessibility. 

For me, VfC is an opportunity to support an amazing charity who do great work in the community which i am really excited to get involved with.

I have been part of the Disability charity sector for the past 4 years and have been inspired by the mission of VfC in serving the community. I seek to assist the charity in its quest to provide people with disabilities, solutions to participate in life's activities and events without a care.

With a background in Financial services, Marketing and Governance; I have worked with large Corporations across geographies and currently help companies in their journey to become more efficient and grow.

I look forward to being part of this Board of dynamic Trustees, who are committed to making a difference.
