‘Prior to joining Substance, I had been extremely fortunate to have worked alongside many of the team at Substance through my role at the PLCF. This not only made me fully appreciate the vase array of skills, knowledge and experience the team possesses but also to understand the difference the organisation is making both up and down the country and globally. Therefore, when the opportunity presented itself to join Substance, the rest became history, so to speak’.
