As a Director of BBSA, I am part of a team who host an annual Expo event and offer targeted business sessions/advice to support new starts, young entrepreneurs, SME’s, and growth within the ever-evolving business eco-system. My background is in public sector procurement, and I am also the deputy CEO of a Leeds based Wellbeing Village concept that promotes the physical/mental well-being of individuals.

A former mentor once told me, ‘What people think of you when you’ve left the room, is up to you while you’re in the room’. Advocacy is my purpose, I intend to continue supporting/speaking up for those who are not in the room and whose voice is often not heard.
