FULL BIO
Rather short bio given that I've spent 16 of the last 18 years in compulsory education!
Left school at 16 to start an education company supporting young people aged 16 - 21 with work experience opportunities; massive learning curve- we were one of two delivery organisations for a £300,000 local government contract which fell through at the last minute (rather dubiously I may add).
Went on to work for Enterprise UK, a charitable campaigning organisation set up by the UK Government and four other leading business lobbying organisations to support enterprise and entrepreneurship in the UK. Supporting a very cool competition for 30,000 young people across the country where they were given £10 to set up their own social enterprise and make a profit - in just one month.
Moved on from there to formally set up FaceValue, a social commerce platform allowing people to buy and sell through social networks ... and that's about as far as it goes at this stage.
Please do ask for more details on FaceValue and a link to the Private BETA site, or if you’re looking for support on any new project always happy to help wherever possible!
