Why did you become an Enterprise Adviser?

Tell us about your chosen career or career pathway to your current role
“I always knew I wanted to work in marketing. After my GCSEs I went to Barrow Sixth Form College and took Business Studies, then to Lancaster University to study Marketing. I then took a graduate job at The Co-operative Group in Manchester in their Marketing Department. During my time at the Co-op I completed the CIM Post Graduate Diploma in Marketing at Salford University. I relocated to Cumbria in 2006 and worked in an International Marketing role before joining Oxley in 2012. My role is very interesting and no two days are the same; I look after branding and PR, internal communications, campaigns, external relations, digital marketing, events and I manage a network of business partners across the world.”
What careers advice would you give to your 16-year-old self?
“Take every opportunity you get, you never know where it might lead. At the very least it will enable you to learn, build a network and have some great experiences to talk about.”
What do you like/love best about living and working in Cumbria?
“There is no doubt that Cumbria is a beautiful place to live and work, but what I like best is the people, they are warm and generous with their time and support, and they are pragmatic and pro-active. Working together we make things happen in Cumbria.”
