I've never been one for the linear career path, and I have always strived to develop myself in a more rounded manner, which working in a large organisation such as British Gas has allowed me to do. I have also had the privilege to serve a full term as a Non-Exec at the University of the Highlands & Islands, alongside a demanding day to day role.
Following the successful delivery of another major transformation programme, I am now focusing on the centralisation of change and transformation across British Gas Services & Solutions. This re-org will streamline activity and governance, enabling efficiencies and a small opportunity for voluntary redundancy. Having been considering a move beyond the horizon of my current organisation for some time, I have taken this opportunity to pursue a new adventure elsewhere.
Reflecting on a successful career, it's been a wonderful and rewarding experience. However, I am now ready to turn my focus and energy elsewhere and I am truly excited by the future and a new challenge, which I will be ready to begin in the new year.

When I'm not transforming businesses, I'm out there turning sweat and dodgy facial hair into cold, hard cash for charity or volunteering at community groups.
