The Engaging Brand |

SO WHO AM I ?


Well, I qualified as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG before joining the printing industry as a Financial Controller. I was lucky that I worked for a truly inspirational leader who recognised some kind of talent for leading people and at the ripe old age of 25 I was promoted to Managing Director. I knew then that I loved developing and inspiring people to bring out that talent that I believe is inside all of us.

I continued in industry working for FMCG companies for 20 years latterly as a Group HR/Finance Director for a major worldwide brand but then decided to establish my own company - The Engaging Brand.

I guess that I am really proud of building The Engaging Brand as I started with a budget of only ÂŁ500 and now it is a successful thriving business that has helped many others achieve their dreams - all done through social media. Engaging people internally and externally with your brand is so important and I love helping people find innovative ways of engaging people in this hectic modern world.

The Engaging Brand was my dream of working with passionate people who want to grow their businesses through social media - often on tight budgets.

Much of my time is spent speaking and delivering workshops on branding, social leadership and social media.

As for my style well, I love this quote from a Melcrum event that said I was "a ball of energy and crammed packed of ideas".

I also produce The Engaging Brand podcast - nominated six years running for the Best Business podcast - which is my way of giving something back to the business world which has been so wonderful to me. The show interviews a wide range of people looking for creative ideas of how to develop both you and your business.

And a recent addition to the CV is a 1st Class Honours Degree in Law, which I am very proud of and hopefully will be progressing on to a Ph.D researching social media and the effect on the modern employment contract.
