Our who, what and why….

With a background in business, I have lived and worked in Cornwall most of my life, other than a brief couple of years living in Germany and Warwickshire.

I attended Trinity Street Infants (which shows my age), St Mewan and Poltair Schools in St. Austell.

Kelly’s Arcade and The Golden Penny were our go to, although Frogger was about my limit and I’m still not great with technology. We were there during the fantastic Crinnis years when there was a pool, a train and Wimpy then Bentleys, Quasars, Radio 1 Roadshows and the Coliseum.

After leaving school I worked the summer in Mevagissey, learning how to work hard for what I wanted, before going off travelling and realising Cornwall’s pull to home.

My business career started with ECC at Charlestown Foundry, then Drinnick No 8 before heading to Marketing then Group at John Keay House until the early 1990s when our own local area started to decline.

After having my family, I changed track, working in schools and running my own business in mid Cornwall. Cornwall’s first accessible coarse fishery, helped by Objective One funding, was created and became a huge local success.

Following divorce, a further change was required so I returned to college, completing the Certificate in Person Centred Counselling at Cornwall College.
Circumstances at the time allowed me to work part time, close to home whilst still soaking up all the training my brain would allow, eventually working full time for a great business supporting people to remain as independent as possible until the time came to spend more time with my own family.

I am really proud to have completed the L5 Leader in Adult Care qualification to distinction standard, the assessor stating, “…..this was an exceptional professional discussion in which you met all 24 distinction criteria showcasing your commitment, compassion, and caring nature for your working practice”.

Proudly Cornish, seeing the daily struggles of local people juggling their lives to enable loved ones to stay at home, watching Treliske struggle with discharging patients unable to return home through lack of support, watching bus routes disappear from an already isolated communities, seeing families having to choose between caring for a loved one or remaining in work was just heart breaking.

Having never been afraid of a challenge, when it became apparent that there was such a need, I didn’t hesitate. With experience working with young people with behavioural issues, the homeless, those with addictions and individuals needing some support to live independently as well as having my own ageing family members, I utilise my skills, my contacts and my knowledge to form Cornwall Housekeeping & Support Solutions Ltd.

A stickler for detail, being organised, relishing learning and remaining passionate about what I do allows me to run my own business again, whilst still saving quality time for my own family, time that I am fiercely protective of.

Loving what CH-SS Ltd has already done for families and their loved ones, makes me just want to shout about it constantly!
