By working with and supporting teams and individuals, I have seen increases in confidence, capability, knowledge, experience and productivity in their roles. Since joining the college in 2018 I have engaged with over 450 organisations providing a range of training and development opportunities in all business sectors.

My knowledge of commercial business, third sector and wider community in Mid Wales has continued to grow and I am proud to be an ambassador for the college and a judge for the Powys Business Awards for the last 3 years.

During recent times of unprecedented change, I have worked alongside customers to take advantage of new modes of training and course provision. This has been extremely successful for both businesses and charities at a time when support and funding was needed more than ever.
