About

I am an experienced Learning & Development professional with nine years’ experience designing modern, scalable learning and talent strategies across the energy, communications and food manufacturing sectors. My career has focused on strengthening organisational capability, improving performance, and delivering measurable business outcomes through evidence‑based, commercially minded L&D practice.

I bring strong capability in L&D strategy, talent development and organisational development. I have delivered learning solutions that address retention, cost reduction and customer experience, including a leadership intervention that generated £53k savings in eight weeks. My experience spans digital learning platforms, content curation, coaching, mentoring and the design of a business‑wide mentoring programme. I am a qualified coach and an Insights Discovery practitioner, having delivered self‑awareness‑based leadership development to over 100 leaders and contributed to senior leadership programmes supporting large‑scale organisational change.

In my current role as an L&D Business Partner at Samworth Brothers, I lead learning strategy for four bakeries and approximately 3,000 colleagues in a highly regulated environment. I ensure full audit compliance through robust skill matrices and have transformed a traditional course‑based learning culture into a blended, experiential model. I launched a business‑wide LMS, built a structured mentoring programme, and introduced automated 12‑week probation nudges that improve onboarding consistency and reduce time to competence.

My earlier career — including five years teaching in Japan and rapid progression through Capita from Analyst to Development Specialist — strengthened my ability to engage diverse learners, influence stakeholders and deliver modern, scalable learning solutions. At Capita, I secured stakeholder approval for a new learning approach that delivered £84k annual savings.

I offer a blend of strategic L&D leadership, modern learning practice, talent development expertise and commercial focus. My work consistently delivers performance‑driven, cost‑efficient learning solutions that build capability and support long‑term organisational success.
