She brings a wealth of energy, enthusiasm and contacts to Opera North, with a focus to cultivate business relationships at the highest level on a local and national scale. The Senior Management post is part of a wider Company strategy to strengthen the financial position of Opera North, which includes a heightened focus on website activity, bringing the design and editorial of print and publications in-house and looking at the commercial use of the Howard Assembly Room.
