I’m currently Programme Development Lead at Co-operatives UK and a Board member at Stretford Public Hall.

My entry into the co-op space was to lead the Community Shares Unit - a dedicated scheme to grow the community shares market. Since 2012, I have worked on developing guidance and support services including the Community Shares Standard Mark - a new quality mark for share offers.

More recently, I’ve become more interested in the role technology can play in the co-operative sector with a focus on developing the platform co-operative sector in the UK.
