I have over 20 years experience as an independent consultant with a proven track record of facilitating sustainable organisational and community change in the voluntary/community and public sector.

I have particular expertise in collaborative and asset based approaches to change designed to maximise engagement of all stakeholder communities, and building and maintaining effective partnerships within and between third sector organisations, the NHS, and local authorities.

I have been working as an organisational development consultant and trainer in the voluntary and community sector since 1995 – mainly in the Greater Manchester area.
