What's made you want to
stay at Unity for so long?
It's a fantastic place to work. The staff
benefits are unbelievable and you get loads
of support. Everyone is really friendly. As
a work environment, it's hard to beat.
What's the best part of your job?
The customers. I treat everyone individually
and you learn what sort of help and service
different organisations want and need.
Where's your favourite
holiday destination?
I've been to Santorini three times, it's
wonderful. The beach is right on the
doorstep of the hotel and there are a
lot of restaurants and bars close by.
What's your secret to a happy life?
Having many good friends and family,
at home and at work and staying in
contact with them. It's lovely.

What attracts you to social banking?
Nothing compares to the satisfaction of
working in social banking. It is a privilege
to assist great organisations, in achieving
their own objectives and see the tangible
benefit delivered to local communities.
Banking is a vital part of a healthy society
and can help create jobs, homes and well
being ­ as long as it is delivered with care,
integrity and social values! That's the gap
that Unity can fill.
What is your proudest moment?
I was very lucky to work for a wonderful
charitable organisation in 2008 on a voluntary
basis ­ the Yorkshire Schools Exploration
Society. We worked with 20 disadvantaged
young people over the course of a year,
focussing on personal development projects
and conservation. The project culminated in
taking the group for a five week expedition
across Mongolia, delivering community
projects and broadening the horizons of the
young people. It was amazing to see the
growth in their souls and their maturity upon
our return and I learnt a lot about leadership
and problem solving. A fulfilling challenge!
Where's your favourite place to holiday?
Travel is my passion so it would be very
difficult to identify a single destination ­
however the mountains of Krygystan,
the Ecuadorian Amazon jungle and the
Sahara desert in Mali are extraordinary.
If you could learn a new skill,
what would it be and why?
I'd love to learn how to salsa dance...
but I may need to focus on developing
rhythm, grace and style before that!

meet. Tweet us
