(Managing Director of Gordon Franks Training Ltd (Birmingham))
I left school and decided not to go to university but to go straight into work.
I have worked in the Work Based Learning sector since 1991; this followed a career in Retail management with two leading high street retailers. I began my career in training as a retail assessor at Gordon Franks Training in 1991 and was soon promoted to Business Development Manager, supporting small to medium sized businesses put systems in place to support staff training.
In 1999 I set up a consultancy business supporting other work-based learning providers develop their quality of teaching and assessment practices.
In 2012 I became Managing Director of Gordon Franks Training Ltd with a high expectation to improve all aspects of teaching and learning and to move the business forward. As part of my role now , I work closely with schools to support them with their careers advice and guidance and educate students about the learning pathways available to them when they leave school. My message to all students is that no matter what grades you get at school you can always achieve your goals by working hard and believing in yourself
I am really looking forward to working with Holy Trinity Academy and assist in making a difference for their students.
