My role at Waterstons is...
To chair meetings with the Board and to support the Executive Directors to ensure that the business behaves responsibly, legally and in accordance with our values.
My proudest Waterstons moment is...
We had a difficult year post 911 (2001) and the whole company worked together to turn things around. We had a summer party that year and something amazing happened- everyone stood up and sang a song by Chumbawamba- Tubthumping and altered the lyrics to ‘They knock us down we get up again.' This was unplanned and unexpected but so poignant. That memory still brings tears to my eyes, I felt very humbled.
My life away from work is...
Is a little creative. I have always had a passion for all things Art Nouveau and Art Deco. I also collect porcelain and china from the early twentieth century.
I’ll be with you when...
...you ask me about the history of Waterstons and what our values have always been.
My sector strengths are...
- Manufacturing
