After 5 years with Britvic soft drinks, seeing the innovation process right through (as a development technologist, innovation marketer and trade marketer) Gill decided to move onto the hard stuff at UDV UK (Diageo). Here she worked as both a trade and brand marketer primarily on Smirnoff Vodka and Bell's Whiskey.

A health drive then kicked in and Gill ventured 'Oop North' to Manchester to Kellogg's. Here she encouraged the nation to 'drop a jeans size' with Special K and for the last couple of years has driven healthy snacks innovation for the company - developing new opportunities and doing lots of yummy things with oats!

Gill has recently joined the ?What If! Manchester office as an Inventor.
