Growing businesses is Julia's passion. Julia specialises in driving increased profitability and growth through the alignment of KPIs with the organisation's vision and strategy. Specifically, when there is a pressing operational, organisational or strategic challenge or clients are under pressure to deliver results quickly. Julia works across all functional areas with particular expertise in the fields of HR, business development, sales and marketing.

Prior to joining Shirlaws in 2008, Julia has been widely published in the field of leadership and team development and has given key note speeches for a variety of industry sectors.  In her role as ceo of a leading global management consultancy, she focused on the identification, assessment and development of leaders, working with 25% of the top FTSE 500 companies. Julia led the management team through a successful sale to a US based consultancy in 2007. 

Julia is no stranger to the entrepreneurial side of business either,  having  founded  and successfully sold two companies in the leisure market before founding a pioneering marine satellite communications company which she subsequently led to a flotation on AIM.

Outside of work, Julia loves sailing and indulging in her sad hobby of baking speciality birthday cakes for family and friends. There has recently been a run on fairy castles!
