Sue Bateman

"What jobs did you do before moving to Facilitators?"
I had my own business providing marketing support for small businesses for 5 years and I came into contact with Facilitators whilst providing marketing support for one of their associates. Before that I worked in HR and Organisation Development for the sales and marketing part of Glaxo Wellcome UK.

"Why did you decide to become an employee at Facilitators?"
I liked the welcoming culture of Facilitators as well as the opportunity to be involved in a growing, exciting business. I've also found that the business is happy to accommodate diversity and my need to work part-time has not affected my ability to fulfill an important role in the business.

"What are your areas of expertise?"
I like to think that my two "careers" have people at their core and that my expertise is in applying that understanding to what I do at the moment which is managing the marketing and branding strategy and tactics for Facilitators.

"Do you have any qualifications that help you in your line of work?"
I'm currently studying for the Professional Diploma in Marketing and achieved the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development diploma in my previous career.

"What do you do when you're not working?"
Apart from studying I enjoy spending time with my husband and children and sporadically participate in a variety of keep fit initiatives depending on how tight my clothes feel.

"Who do you most admire?"
I can't think of any one person in particular but generally I admire people who have the courage of their convictions and are able to take people along with them.
