Karen

Hello, I’m Karen,

I am the Lighthousekeeper at Beacon For Business. I have 13 years experience and I have worked hard to become authorised and accredited, and spend my time meeting with clients, and managing our expert training team. I live in Cheshire with my husband and two small children.

In addition to spending time with my family, I enjoy running and reading. We have a vintage VW Beetle which we take to shows – which makes the summer fun! I love to travel, meeting new people and experiencing new places; Canada is my favourite destination. I have family in Italy and Spain, where I also indulge my love of food (especially that not cooked by me!) I started Beacon For Business in November 2008 after a 5 year career break, and am excited to watch it expand and prosper.

I am proud of our growing team here at the lighthouse, and the special relationship we have with the software houses.

I am Cathy form IBD, I attended a Twitter workshop by Beacon4Business after joining Twitter a few months ago but not really knowing how to get the best out of it or how to use it as a business tool rather than social.
