Kate is a joint Managing Director at SHM. Since joining SHM in April 06, Kate has worked as a client engagement director on projects in the education, transport and health sectors. She has led and managed projects for clients ranging from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, from the Civil Aviation Authority to the Big Lottery Fund.
