Meet the team: Guy Walsh

Could you give us a quick overview of your role at Enterprise Exchange? 
I support participants with a weekly 15-minute phone call. I answer any questions or queries that have come to mind since their last Business Advisor meeting and signpost them to other sources of information. 

What experience do you have which led you to work with Enterprise Exchange? 
I worked in a similar role at the now-defunct Business Link just over 10 years ago. Since then I’ve worked as a job coach for people with mental health support needs, a social enterprise advisor and a training administrator for a safeguarding charity, many of which I did alongside running my own businesses.

Which aspect of your work do you enjoy most? 
I love working one to one with people and building working relationships, but the thing that I most enjoy is helping people overcome personal challenges with a sense of satisfaction and a new direction.

When you're not supporting Enterprise Exchange what do you enjoy doing? 
Running my photography business and writing and performing. My goal is to create a life in which I earn a comfortable income while never feeling like I’m working. I also love wrestling (watching and training).

Tea or coffee? Also how do you like to drink it?
Either. Both strong, but milky. And no it’s not a contradiction. Fight me.

Thanks so much? How can people best contact you?
