Professionally I am a Senior Leader in the food industry with General Management experience.
After a 20 year break from the game, I rediscovered my love for tennis through a free coaching programme. Playing at a neglected local park, I saw the courts were at risk of closure. So I took action – rallied a group of volunteers, we launched a charity and raised over £200,000 to transform the site. Today, it’s a vibrant, inclusive, grass roots venue that is financially strong.
After 10 years as Chairperson, I have stepped back and looking to use my skills and experiences to inspire positive change at other venues and build tennis communities by offering my time and experience for free.
