I have been working with Manchester Credit Union since 2002 when I was the Eastserve Director and MCU provided the affordable loans that enabled local residents to own a computer with broadband and ICT training. I went on to work in various senior IT roles within Manchester City Council. After 9 years of working in the public sector, I have performed various contract and permanent roles focusing on Governance, Risk management and Compliance, particularly around Information Security and IT Service Delivery.
