"I began in head office, as a management skills trainer, so I ran many courses for department managers and deputy managers within the branches."

She then looked after the retail training scheme, and when a northern regional office was opened in her home county of Yorkshire, she took the chance to move back there to become a development manager for the northern region, which involved looking after the recruitment, development and succession planning of the department and deputy managers there. more
