Who is your role model and why?
Penny Newman OBE – she has worked for some amazing social enterprises including Body Shop, Café Direct and Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen – and is a real ambassador for social enterprise as well as being very focused and driven.
What’s the worst job you have ever had?
Working in a chicken factory during the school holidays putting the labels on the chickens!

The 12 week year – Brian Moran
Which personality or business person would you invite to sit on your dream Board of Directors and why?
I’d have to go for two people – Arianna Huffington and Michelle Obama because they don’t quit and are inspiring.
If you were a cartoon character, who would you be?
Wonder Woman (lol)
Tell us an amazing fact about you, that not many people know?
I am very creative and love baking and decorating cakes.
