I have had a career in franchising, which included running my own successful international interior design business. This experience has given me infinite knowledge of the business world. I lend these skills to interviewing business personnel with whom I easily identify.

In my career, I have been featured in many magazines, and I have appeared on television and radio shows. I have also published a book and several articles on interior design.

I love working with Cirencester Radio and feel honoured to present a business programme, "The Brains Behind the Business".

So far, over 130 business owners of CEOs have told me their inspiring stories. The range of businesses they represent is very broad. They include Nick Hunt of Cotswold Lakes Brew Beer Company, Anne Evans of 11 Bibury Cafe & Shop, Emma Vowles of Busby & Fox Clothing and Ed Bagnall of Taylor & Fletcher Estate Agents. And hopefully very soon, Jan Sparrow, owner of Ciren Scene Magazine!

What I learn about is their commitment to giving the very best to their enterprises and their regard for their customers' satisfaction.

The inspiration behind "Brains Behind the Business" is to give a face to the hard work that goes on behind the scenes, often not given the accolade they all deserve.

I hope this programme, which I present with Carole Boydell, does just that! Thank you to The Number Crunchers for Sponsoring "The Brains Behind The Business" show.
