Meet The Team

Amanda Waterton – Head of Funding & Compliance

Some would say that I do all the boring background work on data, reporting, funding and compliance so our fabulous delivery team can get on with looking after our amazing cohorts of apprentices.

I’m passionate about excellent lifelong learning and my job isn’t boring at all because all of that ‘data’ is about real people and their stories.

Let’s just say I am definitely not boring!! I grew up in Spain – it was there that, during a fiesta, I once rode my beloved horse Chili up the steps of a hotel, dismounted, danced a Paso Doble with a friend and then rode Chili back down the steps again to re-join the parade.’

Vicky Sellars – Head of Apprenticeship Quality

If I were a stick of rock I’d have ‘passionate about quality and learning’ written straight through the middle. 

My role involves ensuring our learners receive the highest quality learning experience, coupled with the correct support, information, advice and guidance in order that they have the opportunity to achieve their aspirations, whether that be to take on new responsibilities within their current role, progress to the next level, gain promotion or change direction in some other way. 

I’m also passionate about family time, especially when I get the chance to beat them all at crossbow (very smug), by getting the centre and on target, which is how I like to approach my work.

Bridie Sutcliffe – Head of Apprenticeship Operations

I lead the team of tutors and stretch coaches at Redsky to support our learners and customers to ensure that they have the best experience and achieve some amazing results.

I am truly focused on the learners' experience and achievement and through my years of experience I use my creativity, energy, dedication and focus to provide the best training and learning for all my learners.

In my spare time I have a chocolate Labrador who is old now but loves muddy walks creating as much washing as possible!!
