Carol has been self-employed for most of her career except for a period as Operations Director within the Granada Group of companies and more recently as Marketing & PR Manager at Brooklands Motoring and Aviation Museum.

After spending almost 17 years building up clothing manufacturing businesses, employing over 600 people, throughout Central and Southern Africa, Far East and Mauritius, Carol sold her business to a large Plc and moved to Cork in the Republic of Ireland. Here she worked as an independent trade representative for SAFTO working closely with the foreign trade departments as facilitator for 60+ manufacturing clients. These clients varied from products such as non-return valves for the chemical industry to wine, textiles, stationery, pharmaecuticals, engineering components and cosmetics.

Carol believes in building strong, lasting relationships with her clients and no matter where her efforts are directed, networking is always foremost in her mind. Her philosophy is that 'there is always a person out there who.. can!' As a progression from the manufacturing side of business, there has been a career shift from managing operational issues to managing strategic issues.

Her passion for sailing has taken her from Cape Town to Ireland and numerous yacht races across the South Atlantic & Indian Oceans. Biggest thrill was probably winning a single-handed club race around Cape Point. Her goal is to sail across the Pacific. Presently planning to finish her Private Pilots Licence and give up golf forever.
