Sue started her career in the hospitality industry working in hotels and event management moving to specialise in people management and HR. She then took an opportunity to move into public service which led to a career in Human Resources in the NHS until taking a long career break to raise her family. She then returned to HR establishing her own consulting company which eventually specialised in services to the education sector.  This led to a deep commitment to improving the education system, especially for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children. She joined Trust in Learning Academies in 2016 as Director of HR and Communications and in 2023 was appointed CEO of the Trust which is committed to serving vulnerable and disadvantaged children and their communities. She remains passionate about Education and the staff that enables high quality and caring education to be delivered.
