In their most recent role, they led the HR function for a workforce of over 350 employees across multiple sites.

As a senior HR leader, they have consistently championed fairness, accountability, and inclusion, with particular success in addressing pay gaps and improving workforce balance.
Earlier in their career, they worked as an HR Consultant and in central government.

They hold a CIPD Level 7 qualification and achieved distinction in employment law. They are IOSH qualified and have maintained up-to-date safeguarding training.
