Until Debbie gave up working to look after her daughter, she worked in law enforcement first as a drugs investigator for Customs and Excise and then as a Prison Governor. She has a lifelong love of cooking and whilst looking after her young daughter Debbie set up her own catering business (hence the recipe page) using homemade, organic ingredients.
As well as being a District Councillor, Debbie now works full time in politics, as aide to Neil Carmichael, MP for Stroud. Originally from Cheshire, Debbie is a life-long supporter of Manchester City. |
