Managing coordination, relationships and projects for busy individuals and companies in the tech, digital and media industry.

Heading up commercial and marketing activities at FC United of Manchester as they embark on a brand new phase of development. Passionate about developing key strategic relationships across Manchester for the benefit of the club and the community of Moston and surrounding areas. FC is now the largest fan owned football club in the UK, owned by 2853 members, each of whom has a vote in critical decisions at the club. A member owned, democratic, not-for-profit organisation; a club accessible to all of the Greater Manchester community, dedicated to encouraging the participation of youth, whether it be playing or supporting and to provide affordable football for all. Like our fellow community clubs we understand the vital role that we can play for those that need it the most and as such our extensive community programme is not exclusive to football or sport.

My role as is to engage with the digital and tech communities and facilitate their development and growth at Fraser House Hub. From one employee to sixty, we provide a space that enables individuals and businesses to be the very best at what they do. Fraser House Hub is a £1.7 million pound development funded by Lancashire County Council. It's purpose? To provide a cutting edge space for the dynamic, vibrant and ever growing local tech and digital economy. Opening in 2021 Fraser House will become the centric base for SMEs and ambitious entrepreneurs to grow and thrive in a collaborative, supportive and inclusive community. A sympathetic yet striking conversion of the historic mill at White Cross, including clever spatial design, has been complemented with full fibre broadband. A lively calendar of informative events, both in house and with guest key speakers from the tech & digital industries will also play a pivotal role in the growth of our Fraser House community. The benefits of Fraser House will go beyond those of its residents as it boosts the growth economy of Lancaster and the surrounding areas and acts as a copula to the wider digital and tech communities within Lancashire.
