“It’s great to be able to provide an added value to my clients through flagging up areas for them to review that they hadn’t previously considered.”

A recent letter from the CIPD took me by surprise - a certificate recognising 30 years in the world of HR! It prompted me to reflect on a career that I still thoroughly enjoy and feel passionate about. Over the years, I've worked with managers, leadership teams and boards of trustees across the not-for-profit sector, helping organisations navigate people challenges and build strong, healthy workplaces.

I'm particularly know for my pragmatic and calm approach to complex employment matters, whether reviewing contracts and staff handbooks, leading investigations, or advising on sensitive employee relations issues. I take pride in offering practical, balanced advice that reflects both the legal framework and the values of the organisation.

At the heart of my work is Action Planning's ethos - combining integrity, collaboration and a genuine commitment to making a lasting difference for the organisations we serve.

When I'm not supporting clients, you'll usually find me walking in the beautiful Devon countryside where I live with my husband and attempting (very badly) to play some golf!
