Our Trustees & CEO

Sophie’s background is in service delivery. She has worked for the CAB, a housing association and various charities providing support, advice, and representation to members of vulnerable groups. These have included domestic abuse survivors, people with learning disabilities and food bank clients. She was a founding trustee of ‘Fair Frome’ which set up a food bank, furniture bank and community dining service in Frome.

Sophie has combined these skills with her own determination to survive a chronic illness. When she was not well enough to work, she studied, eventually earning a MRes in Politics and Sociology from the University of Bristol.

This unconventional life has allowed Sophie to gain a unique perspective as both a professional and a service user. Her diverse experiences mean she can help the charity to develop and expand its program with the needs of clients at the centre of everything PostScript360 does.

With an extensive career in management, first in the private sector as a Corporate Claims and Insurance Manager and more recently as Business Support Manager in the voluntary sector, my specific interest are the implementation of processes and procedures to ensure the smooth implementation and management of processes to manage performance and efficiency.

In my “day job” as Operations Manager in a Youth Organisation in Bristol, I am passionate to work towards finding improved processes to support our delivery staff.

As a Trustee of Postscript 360, I am excited to work with our CEO Terri and her team, Sophie, our Chair, and my fellow trustees to be at the forefront of support for those suffering the effects of prescribed drug dependence.  On a lighter note, I am a keen gardener and cook, and enjoy a healthy debate.
