Janice Knight

I have been a member of the SBBC since 1996 when I was the first winner of the Make It Happen Award. The award helped me to gain a Diploma in Management and gave me the confidence to progress my career, firstly with J Sainsbury where I became the Site Services Manager for Homebase Distribution Centre and then as a Project Manager looking at Business Development Projects. I left Sainsburys in 1999 and set up a Distribution Operation for The Natural World. I then moved on to a Housing Regeneration Project in North London. From there I went on to work for Guinness Housing Trust as an interim HR Manager. I also started running personal development courses at the University of Bath in Swindon. In 2003 I joined Tibbett & Britten as an HR Manager at the Iceland site in Swindon. I have stayed in that role through two take-overs and now work for DHL and am currently involved in designing Leadership Development Training Modules for the company. From October 2004 – to April 2007 I also worked as a Tutor running the Women Into Enterprise courses at the University of Bath. I am a qualified Coach and Mentor and am passionate about helping people to unlock their true potential. I am indebted to a number of Business Coaches and Mentors who saw my potential and helped me to further my own career.
