I also previouslyworked within the prison managing offenders and doing risk assessments forparole.

After studying Polymer Science at Manchester University in the 1980s, I started my first job as a materials and quality manager for a firm in Durham in 1989. My time was spent overseeing projects and looking at how plastics were used within the industry. Ten years on, aged 37, my role evolved.

Before I could get anywhere on the French job market, however, I knew I had to improve my school-level French.
