Sheila Flavell: From policewoman to business guru
It's the 1970s. A young policewoman is standing for hours in the freezing rain in Glasgow. All she has for comfort is a jar of pickled onions. "There must be more to life than this," she thinks.\n\nIt turned out there was. Today Sheila Flavell is COO of FDM Group, the only company listed on the Stock Exchange that has a married couple on the board (husband Rod Flavell is CEO).\n\nSheila tells the unpredictable story of her career with many laughs, honesty about the ups and downs and business insights aplenty. You will also hear the extraordinary anecdote of 'spot the organ' \u2013 not for the faint-hearted.\n\nSheila is a brilliant storyteller and a great champion for women in business.\n\nThis episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the offices of Shepherd & Wedderburn, next to St Paul's Cathedral in London, in January 2019. Interview conducted by Fraser Allen.\n\nwww.allencomms.co.uk
