Julia joined the Trust in April 2009 as Finance Manager, with particular responsibility for the Trust’s European funded projects.

Previously from Yorkshire, she relocated to the West Country in 2002. Her experience – always in Accountancy and Finance, includes training in a Chartered Accountancy practice, working in a publishing company and in the motor industry. She also worked in retail where she was a co-director in a footwear business and a travel business. For the last 6 years, Julia has been involved in a European funded project in Cornwall - administering Objective 1 funding.

In her spare time, Julia has a passion for sailing and enjoys both cruising and racing. She also loves travelling to remote places and more closer to home – goes to the gym, enjoys walking, has taken up dancing and recently started bee-keeping!
