There is a saying that a consultant will ask to borrow your watch to tell you the time - well I am definitely not one of those! One of the first things that I will ask is "What do you want to do and achieve in life? What are your ambitions?" If you are someone who wants to make a fast buck before retiring to a foreign clime indulging in the finer things in life then you will require a completely different approach to someone whose business is their passion, life and ultimate ambition.

I am an ideas person and love the adventure and the journey. I follow the philosophy - where there is a real desire to achieve something there is invariably a way to get there. It is just a case of looking to see what resources are readily available and how best to use them taking the shortest possible route to achieve our goals. Brainstorming and creative problem solving, regardless of the industry we work in, is food for my soul. I don't take on many projects as I have plenty of my own keeping me busy.

New Project - in Guinea Pig phase - ARTS WALES - Directory of Artists and Arts Resources for Wales and Welsh Borders

A long time in coming and I still have LOTS to do - but it is basically up and running and for a short while only I am offering free membership for a year from the launch date for people willing to be a guinea pig for a little while and help me build up my list of FAQ's, How Tos and test out the various bits of software on the site. So if you have an interest in the arts, are an artist or arts professional - sign up now - it will not be long before I will be charging for membership.

Arts Wales UK

Not just for the Welsh
Anyone welcome - it is about creating a community of inspired and creative people who have a connection with Wales or even just aspire to visit us.

It's Holistic

It is not just about art. The site has been designed to tackle the issues that all artists deal with in running an arts business and leading a happy life. So if you have articles promoting what you do in health and healing, finance, lifestyle, family matters, etc then you are welcome too.

Writers and Service Providers Wanted.

If you provide a service for Artists - then please tell us about it. From accounting to hospitality, photography to copy writing, exhibition services to printing. Please write your articles and send them to me. I am more than happy to promote what you do - as long as it is good!

My other activities ......

PR and Marketing consultant for small businesses and individuals - generally in fashion and the arts but also a variety of other small and medium sized enterprises. One off projects or longer term mentoring type programmes depending on type of business and the aims and ambitions of the directors, management and executives.

I tend to take a holistic approach to the consultancy work, looking at the people, place, products and services first. This is closely followed by analysing aims and ambitions of those primarily involved in expanding and developing the business. Customer relations, direct mail marketing, brand image, internet marketing, websites, email marketing and selling, general PR and promotional activities are just a few of the aspects studied and can be incorporated into project based consultancy programme or longer term contracts.

Chairman and Director of MONEW, Monmouthshire Enterprising Women which is a network that was set up to help local women maintain a positive work life balance. To achieve this we run courses, social events and various networking activities throughout most of the year. I am keen to set up any collaborative ventures and activities with other similar groups around the country. If you want to join monew mailing list - please send an email to

And the sad thing about being successfully busy is that I don't have as much time as I would like to add the personal stuff about me, my ambitions and what I want to do in life - but this is a start ....

Facebook is coming to get me! People keep wanting me to come and play - so..... if you fancy linking up on this other network - let me know!

Follow my other ID on Twitter - the one that is about Morris Dancing! Yes - Morris Dancing - you did read it right. Our family business was involved with some of the costumes for "Morris: A Life With Bells On" in which you will see Sir Derek Jacobi, Harriet Walter, Richard Lumsden, Greg Wise, Sophie Thompson, amongst many other great TV and film names. It is a fantastically funny film full of our eccentric Britishness - well worth a trip to the cinema.
