Meet Our Sales Team
Tell us about your background in foot care.
Driven by my mother’s diabetes, I switched from nursing to podiatry after my NHS placement. Graduating in ‘92, I progressed within the NHS and earnt my MSc in 2015. From 2009, I took on a commercial sales role whilst lecturing and received the 2021 Lecturer of the Year award at Wolverhampton University. Today, I’m the Education and Training Manager at Canonbury Healthcare, shaping impactful training programs and webinars.
What is the best thing about working at Canonbury?
The best thing about working at Canonbury is the people I work with and meet. The team at Canonbury are lovely people; however, the job allows me to meet lovely people who are passionate about the lower limb and footcare.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
In my free time I love to relax. Relaxing for me is walking Oscar my Labrador in Cannock Chase, going away on adventures with my family in the caravan, and finally crocheting. Often you will find me on holiday outside the caravan with a cold drink, dog at my feet and a crochet needle in my nondrinking hand!
What do you want to do in the future?
Retire, so I can go on 3-month holiday tours around Europe and Scandinavia with my husband - Ian, Oscar the dog and the caravan.
Who or what motivates you?
My “what” is having lots of work to do. I like having several jobs on the go at the same time, this keeps me busy with no time to slack! My day goes faster, and I look forward to the next.
What is the one thing you couldn’t live without?
Like Tracey, it has to be chocolate! We are dreadful when together, nothing better in the afternoon than a cuppa with a chocolate biscuit or chocolate bar… shhhh don’t tell my slimming world leader… when the chocolate pangs hit, I can scoff a large bar without a second glance.
What did you want to be when you were a kid?
From a very early age I wanted to be a nurse. There is a family story that I would only wear my nurse’s uniform to my sisters christening. I was 4. There is a picture from that day, I have my full uniform with stethoscope and doctors’ bag in hand.
What is the best thing about working at Canonbury?
There are many good things about working at Canonbury; the variety the job gives, and I love working in healthcare, but the best thing is the people. You get to meet some lovely caring people in this industry, and providing products that people use to help others makes what we do very worthwhile.
What is your favourite Canonbury Product?
The Namrol range of Patient Chairs. They offer very high quality and are beautifully designed. They look very stylish and offer total comfort for the patient. I particularly like the Dark Plum colour but the whole range has something to offer any clinic wanting to create a professional look.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I enjoy spending time with my mum and my family, and I enjoy playing darts with my husband, John. We run Charity Dart Competitions throughout the year raising money for several different charities including Prostate Cancer, our Local Hospice and for The Heart of Darts Charity. They raise money to provide medical equipment to help give the user and their carers a better quality of life. I also collect turtles!
What do you want to do in the future?
Continue to make the most of the time we have and continue raising money for charity. In the longer term I would like to spend some time doing voluntary work.
Who or what motivates you?
Crossing things off my to-do list both at work and at home (I am always writing to do lists!). This gives me a great sense of achievement and accomplishment, especially when it involves helping others and keeps me motivated to do more.
What’s one thing you couldn’t live without?
Chocolate, 100% it has to be chocolate!
What did you want to be when you were a kid?
I wanted to be like my big sister who took me everywhere with her when we were younger.
