Founders and Trustees
Founder & Trustee - Susan Law

Thirty years in banking may sound like a narrow career, but it provided me with an extraordinarily wide range of challenges. This included managing a region, developing change programmes, strategy and effective internal communications, as well as frontline operational experience. In 1980, along with Margery Povall I helped to found Women in Banking and Finance. All this whilst raising two daughters and managing a household developed my ability to juggle. After a key role as a change agent in the bank’s reorganisation, I took early retirement. This enabled me to undertake consultancy roles helping organisations deal positively with change, become involved in community and other voluntary organisations such as a local housing trust and a Young Offenders Institution. I enjoy using my managerial experience to help create and develop Thatu because helping disadvantaged communities develop is vital.
