Business manager – As the name suggests I look after bClear’s business activities, which includes day-to-day planning, HR duties, policies and procedures and financial management.  Having started in the business as account executive in 2012, I am also on hand to help the team writing articles, comments and press releases.

Before joining bClear I spent three years as communications manager at Cowlin Construction, part of the Balfour Beatty Group.  I was responsible for internal communications across five regional offices and external PR and community engagement.

Previously I worked for a local publisher, starting out as an administrator and bookkeeper, progressing to copywriter and finally editor for three B2B magazines.

Great chefs, local produce, new and interesting ingredients – there’s a theme here!  Anything new in the culinary world and I just want to cook with it.

Mine is a varied role, one minute I’m analysing coverage, the next I’m writing a comment and in an hour’s time I could be researching the latest HR regulations or setting the annual budget for the company.  Variety is what keeps it interesting.

I love to cook, research global cuisines, make up recipes, feed people and of course eat!  Cooking is my stress reliever.

I also love preserving and have recently moved on to making my own kimchi and have three lots of vinegar on the go.

I also have two border terriers, so I walk a lot, and I like to get out on my bike – but I’m a fair-weather cyclist!
