With 26 years experience in the security industry (CP, DS, SG & Events) and 14 years in teaching, assessing and qualification design, Deb has considerable experience in high-quality delivery with meticulous attention to detail.
She founded The Quality Assurance Network in 2020 with the aim of assisting small training providers to bridge their Quality Assurance gaps without compromising significant amounts of profit to do so. The business has flourished, and The Quality Assurance Network now looks after over 50 centres across seven Awarding Organisations and 36 qualifications.
Deb enjoys the great outdoors, with long walks with her dogs and days spent with her horses being top on the list of hobbies. She is known to enjoy dodgy karaoke (the car and the kitchen are the top places so far) and is a passionate Welsh Rugby fan.
Dedicated to her industry, Deb is keen to offer advice on quality improvement and assists with training issues and improving industry standards across a number of social media platforms.
A positive and developmental character (but not afraid to say it how it is), Deb will direct and nurture your centre to its highest potential - with a sprinkle of bluntness and dark humour added!
