Role Group: Executive Team
Retail General Manager
I started my career in restaurants and general retailing before going to university to undertake my degree in Business Studies.
After university I entered charity retailing and loved the role. For almost 30 years I have worked for various charity retailing operations in order to progress the aims of the charity. In these roles I have always been amazed and humbled by the thousands of volunteers I have met, each giving their support for their chosen charity. Charity retailing in the UK is unique due to these volunteers, they make each charity shop so individual.
In my spare time, I enjoy repairing and servicing vintage watches, playing chess and watching football. When I can get away from home and work you will find me walking up and down different towns and cities visiting their various charity shops.
