Currently I’m waiting to go into the voluntary sector, one in the Lighthouse project in relation to mentoring, and next week I have an interview to work for the CAB in Birmingham (Citizens Advice Bureau).

I left school with 6 o-levels, maths, English etc. Then went immediately into local authority work for Birmingham City Council. Whilst at Birmingham City Council I studied for the usual national certificates, association of accounting technicians and generally moved through the ranks within Birmingham City Council, this was all in the finance side of things.

In 1989 I moved to Warwickshire County Council, again as a financial services manager this time, in 1993 I completed a degree in Government at the University of Central England.

That’s basically my education summed up. From there, effectively speaking I had a nose dive in my career two or three years ago where I was convicted of misappropriation of funds and duly dismissed and sent for a custodial sentence which I went through in January to April two years ago then I spent four months on licence after that. From there I left, I had no employment at the time and went to A for E which is a computer hardware and software training course.
