Meet the team: Annabel Shilton

Could you give us a quick overview of your role at Enterprise Exchange? 
As a Case Manager I am part of the team responsible for supporting the participants in their journey to self-employment. This can be anything from a weekly wellbeing check-in call, to helping them sort out problems, doing research, signposting and ensuring the administration behind the scenes is up to date to support the whole provision.

What experience do you have which led you to work with Enterprise Exchange? 
I have established and built 3 small businesses. I was a Business Advisor with the Sussex Business Link for 7 years and have worked with many businesses for the last 25 years on business, marketing and people development strategies. I am also a qualified and accredited business, executive and career coach.

Which aspect of your work do you enjoy most? 
My regular weekly check ins with the participants – its great to build trusting and supportive relationships, which ultimately help them grow their confidence to achieve their business goals.

When you're not supporting Enterprise Exchange what do you enjoy doing? 
Working in my own coaching practice, playing golf (badly), keeping fit, travelling and spending quality time with friends and family.

Tea or coffee? Also how do you like to drink it?
Earl grey tea or oat milk latte.

Thanks so much? How can people best contact you?
