The Team
Rachel Cowper
Community Benefits Manager
Originally from London (or should that be Middlesex), Rachel completed a BA Hons in Business and Economics from Hull, followed by an MSC in Marketing from the University of Leicester.
Leaving London at 18, Rachel has progressively worked her way further north, spending in excess of 10 years in the Charity sector working in fundraising (corporate and grant) for charities that responded to the needs of people with physical, learning and sensory disabilities.
A move into economic development work in Yorkshire, where the role involved research, analysis and approaches towards, led into project management of both SME indigenous and large foreign companies into new locations within the deprived areas of the Yorkshire and Humber region.
Away from the office Rachel lives on a farm with her partner (husband to be!), 5 dogs, 2 horses and a fair few sheep and cows!! So when not knee deep in mud on the farm or in the garden, good wine and food are definitely high on the agenda.
