Why did you decide to become a Board Member of Antrim Enterprise & what does your role as a Trustee entail?
-
I had some exposure to the work of Antrim Enterprise through participating in a few of their courses- I had spare time and some knowledge and thought Antrim Enterprise could use these to develop their own skills.
-
For anyone considering starting up what advice would you have for them?
-
Give it a go! There is a wealth of advice, experience and assistance at Antrim Enterprise to prepare you and help overcome hurdles. You never know until you try!
-
What are the main issues and barriers facing developing businesses today?
-
Lack of a working executive at Stormont! It has a knock-on effect on grants/subsidies for projects supporting start-ups.
-
Life outside current job/position on AEA board

I am a busy mum of three and a taxi service to all! I volunteer with Pastoral Council and Young Enterprise Primary Programme. I enjoy reading, cooking (and eating!), exercising and travel.
