Learning and Skills Development Agency

 

I'm the Regional Director for the North at the Learning and Skills Development Agency , one of a team of nine.

 

                                                                  

 

My office is  in Newcastle Upon Tyne, at the International Centre for Life.

                               

                                                                   

 

The Learning and Skills Development Agency is a strategic national resource for the development of policy and practice in post-16 education and training. The Agency was previously known as the Further Education Development Agency (FEDA).

Before returning to the North East in 1999, I was FEDA's Head of Regional and Economic Development, based in London, having joined the agency in 1996 from a senior post at Kent TEC. Prior to this I worked for the London Docklands Development Corporation and in the voluntary sector in London and the North East. I began my working career with Scottish and Newcastle Breweries.

I'm also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA)  and a Member of the Institute of Management ( MIMgt)
