Here I sit on my first day….. and yet not my first day!
I must admit it is rather strange to be chatting with Sarah at the end of last week and then starting this week as your Managing Director.
Those who have met me, hello again from my new role and those who I have not yet had the pleasure, I look forward to meeting you!
So, who am I?
I have a work background of financial and business management and over the last 30 years have experienced several different sectors from Food manufacturing to Charity sector to now the care sector. The sectors I have enjoyed the most by far are the charity and care sector because they have people at the heart of them. However, all those sectors are challenging when it comes to finances and therefore, I have managed through some very difficult circumstances and enjoyed every minute due to the people I worked with.
But who are you really, I ask you say?
I am a wife to Keith and mum to Molly 😊 Molly just turned 16 last week and is sitting her GCSEs in 6 weeks. Those of you going through and been through that scenario will know how stressful it feels in this household at the moment with hormones and revising stress going on …. And that’s just me. 🤣🤣
I like to think that I am an open-hearted, honest individual with a strong moral compass. I am passionate about helping other to continuously improve. I love watching musicals, gardening and colouring!
I am aware that I have very big shoes to fill as Sarah has been the heartbeat of Independence Matters, I am honoured to have been given the opportunity and will strive to ensure that the values of IM and HSM are maintained.
After a short period of reset with the leadership team in April, I look forward to getting out to visit you all in May. In the meantime, feel free to drop me a line or just say Hi! and when you see me by all means let’s chat ….. those that know me already will tell you just say the word Molly and my chatterbox will be off ! 😊
