Bio
Derek McIntyre
I met Jo whilst attending the I.O.D. courses for Certificate and Diploma in Company Directorship. It was clear from the outset that Jo is a highly intelligent Woman who has the ability to quickly take on complex information and through experiential knowledge to apply pragmatic solutions to the problems presented. Jo also has a wicked sense of humour and utilises this appropriately to make people feel at ease and therefore obtain the best for all whilst maintaining a completely professional approach to business in hand. As part of an Inter-Company exchange visit it was clear that Jo whilst working in predominantly male engineering environment has gained a high degree of respect from all levels within her organisation. The fact that Jo has now progressed to Board Level and a more Commercial role whilst retaining her previous HR and H&S functions is testament to her capabilities. If I was setting up a team I would have no hesitation in having Jo as part of this. I cannot recommend Jo highly enough as an extremely capable and professional individual.

Chief Operating Officer

Jan 2016 - Present
In December 2015, 2 colleagues and I, undertook a management buy-out of the trade and assets of Thos Storey Fabrications Ltd. We retained all of the staff and customers and are busy taking the company from strength to strength. It is a huge challenge but one that is massively rewarding, if not a little stressful at times!
