I have enjoyed thirty years in the arts managing arts organisations, events and volunteers.

My early career spanned Saatchi and Saatchi and being director of Bridport Arts Centre, with some freelance teaching at Weymouth College and Somerset College.

I moved to Milverton in 2002, to become Arts Officer for Taunton Deane Borough Council for ten years, before a spell with Arts Council England and two gap years with Guernsey Arts Commission and Youth Music.

I enjoy life on the ground as Centre Manager with Bridgwater Arts Centre and developing the Sedgemoor Creative Wellbeing network and social referral programme.

My experience and skills include:

Strategy and business planning
Volunteer management
Marketing
Fundraising and financial management
Venue management
Compliance and governance

If you have a challenge that you would like to talk over, I am always happy to give an hour free consultation – time permitting!
