Summary

With over 10 years at BT Group, I currently work in the Health, Wellbeing and Inclusion team, supporting workplace adjustments and applying strong knowledge of HR policy, employee relations and investigations to promote a fair and inclusive working environment. I focus on collaboration and delivering practical solutions that align with business priorities.
My previous management roles at Openreach and BT have given me broad experience across operational, customer‑facing and people‑focused environments. I am a highly organised and proactive professional with strong communication skills, able to analyse problems, manage multiple priorities and drive meaningful improvements for both internal teams and external stakeholders.
