After working in a variety of HR\Personnel roles from 1989 onwards (prior to this I had served in the Army) the decision was taken in 2005 to leave my full time employment and ‘go it alone’.
There was to an extent a safety net in that I was working as an Associate Tutor for BPP, delivering professional education courses, marking and helping to develop new course materials.
However, there was a need to develop a Client base and business networking seemed like a good way of gaining business, in addition to the extra pounds and inches around the waist from all those breakfasts.
Since 1989 the breadth of experience has included day to day operational support, project work, providing strategic support to business, covering Employee Relations (my specialism) Resourcing, Reward and Training & Development. So to use a pilot analogy I was flying solo, tune in again to follow the progress over the next 14 years.
