Prior to building the consultancy, Carolyn was a senior manager in a government agency and latterly local government, where her portfolio of responsibilities included management of substantial budgets and significant staffing levels in areas such as corporate and community communications, social work and community development, as well as a pioneering Health Inequalities Unit.
She has been responsible for large scale community-based regeneration initiatives, housing stock transfers and has been engaged in Pacific Rim inward investment activity.
