Looking back at the one year mark.
I’ve been in my current role (Heritage Officer for the Town Hall Project) and in a new town (Lowestoft, Suffolk) for around a year now.
September the 13th, saw the Lowestoft Heritage Skills Market. I played a part in organising this.
This was a chance for me to take ownership of my role. And as one of the aspects of my job, to celebrate and bring to life history and heritage.
The past year has had plenty of ups and downs.
In the down points, I tried to stay focused on reaching the Heritage Skills Market.
I found some incredible people to showcase at the market, including a blacksmith and a letter carver. (Daniel Johnson Forgeworks and Gary Breeze Lettering Artist.)
It was rewarding how the Heritage Market brought the area round the currently closed for renovation Town Hall to life.
In making connections with creative and talented individuals, I am motivated to keep working.
With my role, I am working within a …

As you may have spotted, we have a rather exciting update to share about our Pioneer membership
We never wanted TPC to be an exclusive members club, so to enable more portfolio professionals to access the career of their dreams we have reduced our Pioneer membership from £30 per month down to just £5 per month
For this small fee you gain access to additional events, our courses on demand and a whole host of additional partner benefits – if this sounds like something you want to explore, then check out the options here: https://portfolio-collective.com/memberships/
Viva el movimiento!

Hi All, after 35 years in full-time roles, 15 years at board level; it is time for something new. I have started building a portfolio, currently with board advisor roles but hopefully mixing in NED and fractional CEO to continue my development and the worth I can add to SMEs that I do/will work with. Having only now come across this forum I am happy to connect with like minded people who can bring an array of different skills to provide the support that companies need.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m heading to today’s event and would love to connect with anyone working on exciting projects or ideas they want to bring to life.
I recently went solo after a decade in tech, and I’m now a one-man agency specialising in turning concepts into reality. I’m a full-stack developer who can take you from initial idea right through to launch – I’ll help you spec out what you need, design the user experience, and build the entire thing. Whether it’s apps, websites, or custom business tools, I handle it all.
The advantage of working with me? I can get your idea to market in weeks rather than months, at a fraction of what traditional agencies charge. No project managers, no account handlers – just direct collaboration with someone who can actually design and build what you need.
I’ve got some capacity opening up in December for the right projects, so if you’ve got something brewing or just want to …

With over three decades in senior leadership, I have held executive roles across complex, fast-evolving organisations—leading transformation, driving financial resilience, and aligning business strategy with long-term value creation.
I experienced a nervous breakdown while serving as a CFO, brought on by chronic overwork and burnout. I came dangerously close to causing serious harm to myself — a turning point that reshaped how I view leadership, success, and wellbeing.
That experience became the catalyst for my commitment to help others facing similar struggles.
Through supportive coaching, I guide leaders in developing balance, emotional resilience, and sustainable ways of working. My approach is grounded in positive psychology, focusing on cultivating a healthier relationship with stress, building strong emotional foundations, and rediscovering meaning and connection in both life and work.
This work is personal. I know how isolating burnout can feel — and I know tha…
