I started work in 2004 with PriceWaterhouseCoopers in the audit department. After gaining the Institute of Chartered Accountants qualification I moved into industry & developed a real interest in business. I later worked for multiple private equity companies before joining RING (part of the ams-OSRAM group) in 2020 (just in time for the pandemic).

Background in audit, then moved into manufacturing industry covering plastics manufacture and life sciences in regulated industries.

Started of on a graduate scheme for Francis Ward Ltd, a plastic manufacturing firm, as their Marketing Executive. After 3 years and gaining a lot of experience across marketing functions I joined Ring Automotive in 2007. Since then, I have held different positions in the marketing function as the business and department has grown

I’ve worked in various sales roles for most of my career and having been in my previous company for 18 years I took the opportunity to look for a new challenge…I was lucky enough to find Ring 7 years ago and have never looked back since.
Initially I joined as a National Account Manager within the Retail Business Unit and looked after several key customers for about 3 years. I was then promoted into the Directorship role and now sit on the Executive board with the rest of the Ring leadership team.

I then moved to Direct Line Insurance as a Senior HR Adviser and worked on the acquisition and integration of Churchill Insurance before moving to Yorkshire Water as a Strategic Business Partner supporting the Clean Water division and working alongside the leadership team to deliver a number of challenging initiatives.
