What has been your favourite learner/apprentice moment?
I have had so many but one of my favourites was after a college campus competition, 3 of my learners went through to the finals and won 1st and 3rd places.
What would your talent be if you were Miss or Mr World?
My Miss world talent would be I can name all of the junctions on the M1/M62 corridor in my local area.
The zombie apocalypse is coming, which 3 people do you want on your team?
The three people I would want on my team is my partner Mark as he is very calm and level headed and is a very good negotiator, Cheryl Turner as she can talk to anyone and develop good relationships and my daughter Abbey - family is everything.
What is your most used emoji?
The smiley face blowing a love heart!
If you were a wrestler, what would be your entrance theme song?
Don't Stop Me Now by Queen.
Have you ever been told you look like someone famous, who was it?
Apparently I look like Amy Schumer.
If you could bring back any fashion trend what would it be?
Fashion trend to bring back would be cropped tops but with the body I had back in the 80s!!
If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life what would it be?
The meal I would choose is spirali dorate al forno.
If you were left on a deserted island with either your worst enemy or no one, which would you choose? Why?
I would choose my worst enemy as this would give me the opportunity to build bridges and identify why we are enemies, develop a relationship and agree a positive solution.
If aliens landed on earth tomorrow and offered to take you home with them, would you go?
Yes I would go as I'm nosey and it would intrigue me but seeing as though I'm starting a new job this week I maybe would decline!
What’s your favourite sandwich and why?
Tuna mayo salad on brown with no butter because I love tuna. the salad is speed food and no syns on Slimming World - planning is key!
Why did you choose NHTA incl. Training for Business?
I have chosen NHTA/TFB because I could easily recognise that Charlotte (MD) was as passionate about Quality as I am and strives to develop her current business and grow it. Charlotte was very personable and has the same work ethic as me and I could see that I would fit perfectly into the role and it is a superb opportunity to work with a outstanding provision with clear aims to build a remote team and successful business.
