With a background including motorsport journalism, and significant experience in the sector, it’s fair to say she knows a thing or two about putting businesses in pole position.

Her favourite things about the job are the amount of research involved and learning random facts; from the best place to spot whales in the UK to the collective term for a group of bakers! (It’s a tabernacle)
