Sara is an innovative, award-winning business leader with close to 30 years’ experience leading public and private sector enterprises.
Throughout her career, Sara has been motivated by a desire to reach the most vulnerable and neglected members of society, raise their living standard, and see their dignity restored.
During her time in the public-sector Sara delivered a range of public-sector frontline services that went beyond her role including mentoring young women at risk of exclusion from education, the creation of specialist outreach teams to tackle youth crime, the creation of an innovative safety project educating women in prison about the dangers of arson and the delivery of Liverpool’s super zone The Fire Fit Hub (Fire Fit).
Seeing an opportunity to create an organisation that was truly capable of and committed to making a difference in people’s lives, Sara embarked on the journey of social entrepreneur in 2015 when she founded Rise Construction Framework, a social business that invests profits into community prevention and intervention projects to tackle deprivation and poverty.
Sara has used her business as a 'business for good', by using profits to fund services that support survivors of domestic violence, tackle homelessness, supports mental health & well-being projects, and launched a CIC called ‘Thrive’ an organisation that exists to support social workers and the young people they care for.
Sara goes above and beyond to make a positive contribution to society; by creating a socially drive business she has been able to literally ‘put her money where her values are’ and has benefitted thousands of people in the process.
