over a decade, inspecting the performance of local councils. It was always a home- working contract, which appealed to me when my kids were young – it meant my partner Michelle and I could easily cover the school runs and enjoy plenty of family time. “In 2011, the public sector was struggling and so a move into the private sector made sense.
