Staffordshire WiRE
My name is Sheila Henshall and I am the WiRE Project Officer for Staffordshire. I am married with two teenage kids, two dogs and they are all male so I need some female company!.
I come from a financial background working for a number of years within the small business community. I have also run my own business so I do know what it is like to wear all of the hats at any one time as well as trying to organise the family. In my spare time, if I have any, I love to keep fit, play golf and spend time in the garden
I joined WiRE in August and I am delighted to be working for them. I am excited to be organising the new Opening Doors Project in Staffordshire and look forward to meeting those of you keen to set up your own new business.
To contact Sheila or just to ask a question email her on sheila@wireuk.org or Telephone 01952 815473.
