Rooted in Wales. Reaching further.
Julie A Milner left school at 15 with no qualifications. She knows first-hand that where someone starts does not have to decide where they finish.
Her story is rooted in North Wales, through school, family, business and the barriers that appear when real life doesn't fit neatly into the boxes created for it.
Julie always had a knack for looking past the rules, processes and assumptions about how things should work and asking: how does this translate into real life? What are the barriers, and what could we do differently?
This approach took a small business started in North Wales into work across the UK and internationally, encompassing enterprise, education and employment.
The settings changed. The approach didn't.
Remove the noise. Find the real barrier. Make participation possible.
Today, the same thinking underlies Julie's work as an entrepreneur, author and facilitator: the value system of removing barriers to participation.
