Mrs Michelle Hingston-Wood

Previously worked in Local Government (1987-2016). Mostly in Planning and Building Control as a Team Leader, where I gained my interest in Health and Safety. Following that I worked as Senior Administrator for Plymouth City Council's NVQ Centre and then moved into Health, Safety and Wellbeing.
