Mary started business life in retail (with MandS) and due to a series of accidents with a bit of foresight eventually entered  management consultancy via the sales and marketing route with a small specialist change management practice which was acquired by an IT company. Whilst there she ran their public sector and strategy practices (not simultaneously) before joining the outsourcing division. She currently works for a business services outsource company running their central government business where her consultancy expertise has proved invaluable.

One of the founder members of WCoMC she is passionate about the difference the Company makes in its charitable and educational activities and has a great deal of affection for the traditions and aims of the Livery and for our Company, with all its foibles .

Living in Cambridge and London and with three grown up children and one grandchild she is surprised to find that her family and social life remains as hectic as her business life despite advancing years.  Despite this she still finds time for opera and theatre, for gardening and for everything outdoor including skiing, scuba diving and hill walking - and of course the activities of WCoMC.
