When away from work, what do you enjoy doing?

I am a mother of two children so spend the majority of my time away from work supporting their very active lives. My eldest is a club swimmer and footballer so during the week she is training everynight of the week in one or both of the sports and then our weekends with her are spent at swimming gala's and football matches.

My youngest daughter is actively involved with performing arts which includes; modern, tap, jazz, musical theatre, drama and singing. Her passion is the dancing but for all disciplines she is either practising for exams or shows.

My husband and I are like ships in the night most evenings and weekends supporting our girls so we do enjoy our holidays during the year which we take as a family or a sneaky one with just the two of us. I love the experience of staying in new countries plus the opportunity to relax and read some books. So as you can see my life outside work is my children and holidays!

What is your favourite book or movie?

My favourite movie of all time is 'Top Gun'. This film came out in my teenage years and I just played it over and over.

Describe an interesting fact about yourself?

I have a bucket list of things that I would like to achieve in my

life time, including;

Run the London Marathon
Bungee jump
Watch my daughter in the National Swimming Championships
Watch my daughter dance/perform on a West End stage
Skydive
Go to the Monaco Grand Prix Some of these I have achieved, some I will achieve and some are my dreams

When you were a child what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a hotel receptionist when I grew up. I travelled a lot as a child and viewed this as a very glamourous job.
