Hi – my name is Phillipa, I live in greater London.
For my job I run a health manufacturing company. We manufacture health products and we export them.
My first job that I really loved was working at the university I went to and we basically
helped young people to realise their dreams and help them work out what education they needed
to follow their career path that they wanted to follow.
I think that with barriers that I've had to overcome, one of the main barriers is actually
your belief system and thinking you can't do things when in fact you can.
And I think making sure you have positive people around you and that you are able to believe in yourself
so that you can overcome barriers because I think you can do anything that you really want to do.
My greatest achievement is managing a work life balance and setting up the company
and running a company that ethically sources products and manufactures British products and exports them.
My advice to young people is to make sure you do something that you really enjoy,
something thats you and some thing that makes you happy and to look for organisations and people
that will help and support you to do what you want to do and not to get too stressed about it
but to enjoy - but to make sure you enjoy life when you are doing it.
