She has been in business for nearly 30 years – and boy how things have changed! Karen has a no nonsense approach which comes from her Aussie roots, knowledge and experience. Sure, she has the paperwork demonstrating extensive knowledge of marketing as well as experience in lots of different sectors. She has also set up three companies over this time offering different types of marketing support, training and coaching.

In the mid 1990s, she set up Surrey Marketing College, now part of the Cambridge Marketing Colleges Group. And, what was special about this was how Karen changed the way the courses were delivered so young, busy marketers could make better use of their time whilst studying for their professional qualifications. Her approach is now a standard offering of all private colleges.

Karen is entrepreneurial in her approach. She enjoys a laugh, having conversations, good food and good wine.
