“I was lucky enough to work with Jon on the winter Wrap Up London campaign, #GiveALifeJacket. He was extremely passionate about the charity, and was collaborative and helpful throughout the process of campaign planning, as well as being open and welcoming of all creative ideas presented to him. It was an absolute joy to work with someone so friendly and warm, who at the same time exude's the utmost professionalism. I hope to work with Jon on many more campaigns in the future! ”

I have always enjoyed a challenge. Most of my professional life has revolved around managing change, improvement and development of new services. Motto: No such thing as a problem, or even a challenge, just the opportunity for a creative solution!

I usually volunteer at Christmas, helping to deliver a Christmas Day to isolated people in the London Borough of Southwark. This is an all day event with lunch, carols and a great atmosphere. I am proud to be part of the happy team that makes this happen for so many local people.
