I have spent the last 15 years helping police officers from all forces perform at their very best through thier promotion processes. Prior to this, I have vast experience in senior management, leadership and director level positions working in the pharmaceutical, recruitment and FMCG industries with large companies such as Kelloggs, Kraft Foods, Boots Pharmaceuticals and BASF Pharma. I was a founding Director of the Pharma recruitment agency North 51.

I’ve designed and implemented many selection processes and interviewed thousands of job and promotion candidates, giving me unrivalled insight and experience into what forces are really looking for when promoting staff. In short, I know what makes the difference between success and failure when being interviewed.

I understand what works well and just as importantly what does not when attempting to be promoted. I have a real passion for developing people and this drives me to help individuals to realise their career aspirations.

I am a fully qualified MCIPD professional with over 10 years’ experience in Human Resources. Throughout my career I have worked in innovative businesses and big blue chip FMCG companies.

I’ve worked alongside and been a business partner to a number of leadership teams in a range of functions including Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Logistics, Global Corporate functions, Marketing and Sales.

I understand how both large and smaller organisations work. I know how to develop them to become performance driven and values led. My aim is to enable people to always be at their best, to unlock their potential and support them to reach their career ambitions.

I am a commercially focused Chartered Occupational Psychologist and Associated Fellow of the British Psychological Society.

My management experience spans the corporate, SME and public sectors; and I have spent the last 13 years focusing on improving individual and organisational performance in a consultancy role as Director of Business Psychology at MK Business Psychology (https://mkbusinesspsychology.com).

My specialist areas of practice include the design and development of competency frameworks, assessment & selection, personal/career development and management/leadership development (including the design and delivery of development centres).
