I held the position of Project Manager for the Welsh Government's Business Start-up Programme covering the Flintshire area for over 7 years, working with Mike Scott when he was one of the Directors at THE Group. The job role varied from managing a team of excellent Business Advisers, liaising with the Welsh Government Contract Managers, working closely with other Providers throughout the area, organising and attending networking events and administration of all the Welsh Government paperwork.As the Provider of the Business Start-up contract I also engaged with the Welsh Government on their Inclusion Challenge Project encouraging and supporting individuals in 'under represented groups' to set up their own business. This also led to me working on the Commitment to Equality Standard, which I was successful in achieving on behalf of the Company. My networking skills also earned me a place as a finalist in the 'Networker of the Year' at the Network She Awards Show less

The key aspects of my role include supporting businesses with Events, Networking Services and Office Administration. This involves managing or coordinating events such as Exhibitions, Seminars, Conferences etc. In addition, I assist organisations, teams or individuals with Networking services. This can be representing businesses at Networking Events, hosting Networking Groups, advising organisations on their networking activities or just supporting people in business to get the best from the different networking activities available to them. I can support businesses that have administrative staffing issues, even at short notice, so that they can continue with the expected level of service or production. I have a diverse set of skills in the administrative functions. I am also a good 'team player' with the ability to integrate with full time staff easily and I am able to quickly pick up the necessary skills, processes and procedures an organisation utilises.
