I joined Barnsley College in November 2018. In addition to overseeing the Business Development team, I support and grow the College Apprenticeship Income and develop productive relationships with businesses. I lead Business Development around traineeships also.
I spend time working closely with local authorities to keep them involved with College offers and opportunities as well as working with our Lep so we can be involved in any projects and programmes and provide support as a College in our local community.
I also continue to work with employers to engage in academies and T Levels by supporting their business needs and showing them how they can support our curriculum.
I joined Barnsley College in 2019. I work with LEVY employers, supporting them to utilise the apprenticeship LEVY to develop both existing staff and establish new talent. The apprenticeship roles within our partners span across all sectors and we continue to work with employers to develop further training to meet the needs of our local community.

I joined Barnsley College in 2010. I work with a large variety of small, local businesses including hair and beauty salons, restaurants, cafes and childcare providers. Apprentice roles are often specific to the business, such as Hairdressing, Beauty Therapist, Early Years Educator or Professional Cook. I also deal with apprenticeships which are more general and apply to all businesses, like Business Administration and Team Leader roles.

I joined Barnsley College in October 2020. I am currently working with small / medium size businesses in any sector, with a current focus on the Construction sector. I believe that ‘going above and beyond’ for certain clients means that other clients are not receiving the service they deserve. Every business I have any dealings with will receive the best I can offer.
