Reason for joining XTEND:

Having spent many years in the public sector and SME arena I needed to gain insight into the more corporate arena and, after having attended meetings and spoken to members, formed the view that XTEND was the most suitable and welcoming.

Length of time with XTEND:

Since 2007

What have you gained from XTEND membership?

Insight and knowledge, a large number of diverse, reliable connections and just missed a £1.8m contract. I’ve enjoyed running a self-development SIG (special interest group), being on the committee and now Chair of XTEND.

“I like the ethos of one for all and all for one, members happily share knowledge and expertise at the same time as being available professionally. A vast array of speakers provide educational insights and updates. A warm, friendly greeting and atmosphere makes for enjoyable networking with access to a huge array of talent.”
