Steph hated school and couldn’t wait to leave. After a number of jobs that she didn’t enjoy, she returned to further then higher education and (ironically) became a teacher. Steph taught in secondary and further education as a business and economics teacher amongst other subjects. She was then offered a role within Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council Education Directorate managing the EOTAS (Education other than at school) service. A diversion from teaching to managing teachers and other support staff for 11 years, Steph decided to take the plunge and set up her own education company. Almost 5 years on, she runs a successful business employing over 100 staff. Having previously been a supply teacher, she understands the role and empathises with how overwhelming it can be for staff going into different schools sometimes on a daily basis. She is a totally hand’s on, fully supportive manager who will go out of her way to ensure all staff and schools are looked after.
