Starting life as a qualified Nanny, then working in sales for Competition Shock Absorbers and Clutches, different roles then followed including PA to MD of a food manufacturing and then import company, Export Administrator then Export Manager for Golden Wonder Snacks which subsequently lead to the development of her own manufacturing and snack distribution company for a newly created brand, Britz, (starting regular visits to the Algarve in the early 2000’s developing business in the many tourist outlets available). When the company closed, Jennie then worked on a project to install ISO9000 into an engineering company before moving on to be a PA to the HR team at AstraZeneca pharmaceuticals. After managing the personnel movement of 1500 employees, following the moving of the R&D facility to Sweden, Jennie went back to engineering by working with Caterpillar and Birmingham Metropolitan College to set up and administer an apprenticeship scheme successfully until 2015. Since then, life has been split between the UK and Portugal and currently the time that is not spent on the golf course is happily spent providing proof-reading, translation and editing services to SCP.
