Dear Sir or Madame,
I started up a consultancy called Parrhesia Consultancy in order to undertake work
campaigning, lobbying and encouraging participation/citizenship for the Vote Leave in the
EU Referendum. I directed and managed volunteers plus another Director/Senior
Consultant in publishing press releases, F2F campaigning, and publishing literature
supporting Vote Leave. We had considerable success and now I will maintain the ownership
of the Company as the majority share-holder and allow for the Director to take the lead in
pursuing the Business Plan.
I have worked as a Research Consultant for 7 years, Sales Consultancy and Sales Team
Leader for 6 years and Research Director and Managing Director for 2 years in the start-up
corporate culture. I am educated to MSc level in Management and Consultancy, I have
worked as a Researcher at two Red Brick Universities (University of Birmingham and
University of Surrey), I have over 19 publications (my latest journal article is a peer
reviewed leadership piece), I have recently finished an employability study with charities in
Italy finishing off the academic research I started as a PhD at the University of Surrey. I have
had various professional training from the REC and CIPD training providers in Recruitment,
How to be an Effective Trainer, and Training Administration.
From my work experience as a Researcher, Consultant and a Director I have had exposure
to all parts of the Consultancy Business. This includes:
I have workedforHouse of ParliamentinResearchandCommunications,CountyCouncil,

4. As you will see from my resume, and as I hope from a future opportunity to meet with you,
my experience is second to none. Whilst at the University of Birmingham I was a Research
Consultant for a project co-ordination of a leadership positioning paper, health service
management literature, and associated papers for Department for Health QUANGOs. Since
the positioning paper was published in a peer reviewed academic journal entitled
Leadership this demonstrates proficient written communication skills, high levels of
literacy, the ability to write and edit reports. My MSc and PhD studies in Management and
Consultancy, professional qualifications, and executive search work experience are held in
high regards by previous employers.
Let me have a moment of your time on the phone, and Ill prove my worth within minutes.
At Parrhesia Consultancy Ltd we primarily collected commercial intelligence and market
research on Britain Exit from Europe tailored to client’s demands and sold on as commercial
intelligence reports to our clients. We also involved ourselves with Recruitment and
established our own jobs board on our website. The other works we undertook included
training of corporate staff in SME in communication and psychological theory used in
customer services and sales settings.
I want to become part of a team and have a can do attitude that involves me being hands
on and to work in this opportunity. I am currently standing in the NHS Trust Foundation
elections for Governor and I have a keen interest in Health Policy.
