I am fortunate to have worked in brewing my whole career, in various quality focused and brewing roles in both the craft sector and for a multi national company. These insights and commitment to learning has more recently given me an opportunity to work for the IBD as an examiner. It feels a privilege to now be part of the journey many brewers are now taking to further their own careers as I did years ago. 

As secretary for the IBD Great Northern Section, I get to meet with brewers, distillers and associated suppliers form all over the North of England and beyond, and support both virtual and in-person events for CIBD members. 

My current role as Quality manager for Ossett and Salt Breweries brings together many years and experiences to help ensure we brew and package the highest quality beers.
