Preferring to be hands on I have developed my skills entrepreneurially, starting and successfully running my own business. Having experienced it, I know what is required to research, setup, start and lead a business or organisation. Finding a niche, creating a compelling proposition, building the systems, casting a vision and then leading daily, making tactical and strategic decisions to deliver results. Engaging stakeholders and customers, managing suppliers, employees and contractors, liaison with authorities are all part of the experience I have gained.

If I had my time again and had the benefit of hindsight I would definitely make some different choices, completed my university education, however the school of life experience is a tough and excellent teacher.
