Straight talking, passionate digital professional.
My career started at a new business consultancy, swiftly moving in house to the digital agency formerly known as Wheel (now DigitasLBi), I then moved about a bit, running both new business and client delivery for a few good (and some bad) companies.

Problem There’s nothing out there quite like Giftpad. That always begs the question - is this a solution looking for a problem? So, the Founder needed confidence that her idea was worth pursuing and whether potential customers would “get” it, use it and keep on using it. Solution I canvassed a lot of people on their attitudes towards giving and receiving gifts. Again, I can’t really go
- Building a B2B website that puts its users' needs firstNewable helps UK companies take the next step with their business. They offer a range of funding options, advice on a range of topics and workspace in 40 locations nationwide.
