Tell us a little about your role within People One Fifty®.

I ensure everything we do benefits our people - our artists, clients, and team. My responsibilities span designing and implementing business processes, to fostering continuous improvement. This ensures delivering outstanding creative content, realising our operating model's full potential and passing on the benefits. I also support Dan and the team in client and artist care.

Prior to People One Fifty®.

During my Fine Art studies, I caught the marketing bug early on, learning how to blend strategic intent with a creative lens. I’m extremely grateful for my diverse career which includes roles in private and public sectors, agency and client-side. With all focussed on achieving sustainable outcomes, and crucially culminating into where we are today, and the creation of People One Fifty®!

Quick-Fire Five.

1. Biggest influence, professionally or personally?

My late parents’ brilliant wit, kindness, knowledge, laughter, and zest for life inspire me. Professionally, my dad a respected artist and marketer. Ted, my first boss, also stands out - showing how powerful belief and encouragement in others can be.

2. Best piece of advice you have ever been given?

From my dad to a 15-year-old me weathering a tough time in school: 'Always look for the good in people' advice that has stuck with me and forms the foundation for how I approach life and work - putting people front and centre.

3. Where are you happiest?

Honestly, my happy place is in the thick of delivery, collaborating with brilliant artists, clients, and our team. Creating a space for growth, creating awesome content and for people to excel and enjoy the process. It’s a buzz like no other - although jumping into the ice-cold English Channel for the Boxing Day dip gets a close second!

4. What’s your favourite catchphrase

‘There is no such thing as failure, just key learnings.’

5. Tell us something we don’t know about you – work or personal?

With 15 years of experience in healthcare, including 11 specifically within the NHS, I’m honoured that we can offer and unlock access to specialist content creation and production services for organisations within these sectors -services typically historically reserved for the B2C market.

I also invented and launched the National NHS Traffic Light Support System (TLSS) during my time at NHS Supply Chain, still in use today over 10 years later.

In collaboration with The Royal College of Nursing, our goal was to empower nursing teams to make impactful purchasing decisions, driving efficiencies, savings, standardisation, and improved patient safety. As part of the wider ‘Small Changes, Big Differences’ campaign we designed together, I also developed the TLSS toolkit, using a sticker system to manage clinical supplies in hospital stockrooms.

Informed by clinical colleagues, and after a successful pilot with a large NHS Trust, it was rolled out nationally and voted the No. 1 support tool by the NHS nursing community in Nursing Times Magazine. Still one of the proudest moments of my entire career!
