Previous work experience.

I have had a varied career that has given me broad experience across operations, leadership, and business management.

My first management role was with Royal Mail during the 1990s, a period of significant organisational change and operational challenge. I progressed from working as a postman through a series of promotions to become an Area Manager, with responsibility for seven delivery offices. This role gave me invaluable experience in leading large teams, managing performance, delivering operational targets, and implementing change in a demanding, fast-paced environment.
