As the voice of the UK's mobile network operators, it's vital we remain at the top of our game so we can continue to identify and overcome challenges and build upon new opportunities. Working with Jo and JFG Communications has enabled us to do just this. Jo and team helped us build progress and momentum towards the announcement of the £1bn Shared Rural Network.

Dec 2007 - Sep 2016
I built, developed and led TfL's award-winning stakeholder engagement team between 2007 and 2016. I transformed TfL’s external relationships and created a culture of early engagement to inform the company's public policy development. I successfully built stakeholder support and mobilised a coalition of stakeohlder advocates from a wide range of sectors to make the case for London’s transport infrastructure and the funding to deliver it. I had lead responsibility for TfL’s relations with diversity groups and I was on the leadership team responsible for driving forward the organisation's Women in Transport programme. I was a key member of TfL’s Equality and Inclusion (E&I) leadership team, responsible for setting the direction on the company’s E&I policy.
