Other Roles

Immediately after graduation I worked for the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce in a wide ranging role which was an ideal introduction to the Sheffield business and economic scene.  I worked with the Representation Committees which considered initiatives and legislation proposed by national and local government, and coordinated responses on behalf of local industry to the relevant institutions.  I liaised with local TV, radio and newspapers to arrange appropriate coverage of these issues, and was regularly interviewed for radio and local newspapers.  I also arranged the Chamber's training seminar programme, managed the telex / fax bureau and edited the monthly information bulletin.

I returned to the Chamber of Commerce some years later to work on a project jointly funded by Sheffield Training and Enterprise Council to promote Management Development.  This contract moved directly to the TEC the following year where I continued to promote management development alongside NVQs and Investors in People.

I have also worked as an Administrator for the South Yorkshire Crown Prosecution Service and a Database Administrator for the Westfield Health Scheme.
