Hello I am delighted to be a mentor with Business Wales.

A senior hospitality and tourism operator with multi-site, multi-brand and turnaround experience. I excel at supporting the creation of winning teams focused on quality and exceeding expectations: delivering return to investors and building brand value. Key strengths include: decisive leadership, analytical and strategic managerial skills, concise and honest communication complimented by an engaging style which inspires confidence.

I started my business, Wonderstuff in March 2000. It is a gift shop based in Treorchy, Rhondda and it has become a multi award winning business. The Business was started after I graduated from University of Glamorgan, Treforest, with a 2:1 degree in Law and I decided to pursue a career in retail. I have ‘learnt the ropes’ by working hard and adapting the business to change with different market trends. I continually attend business courses and constantly keep up to date with what’s happening in the retail sector and what will be the next trend.
