She is now a freelance broadcaster and continues to work with the BBC on a variety of other business programmes, including BBC’s World’s ‘World Business Report’
Corporate Facilitation

Her work often includes chairing Question and Answer sessions and challenging the management team on the issues that matter to the audience.

In the consumer products sector, she spent six weeks conducting workshops with the Swiss giant, Nestle, and has also worked extensively with the tobacco group, Gallaher.
