About Sarah

As the founder of Quest Consulting Services a big part of recent years has been spent on building and developing the business.

Away from work I own a horse (Sunny) that I ride as often as I am able and I compete at Dressage. I enjoy cycling which is a past time I took up just to complete a charity ride and I attempt to run although I prefer to be on 2 wheels or 4 legs.

I love to travel and have enjoyed trips in recent years to Las Vegas, Cape Verde, Carribean and around Europe. Love the sun but also love to see the sights of the countries I visit.

I am also an Assistant Director for BNI and look after groups in the Wakefield area. This provides me with an excellent opportunity to build my own networks but also enjoy being part of a very sociable team in West Yorkshire.

Previous employment / industry experience
