After leaving her traditional girls' grammar school with a clutch of O and A levels, Diana went to Bradford University to study Modern Languages - at that time it was the best place to go!

Afterwards, she studied for an MBA in International Business then worked in multinational companies such as Ford, when she switched course mid-stream and went into lecturing, specialising in IT and management.

Helping individual adults acquire new skills remains a passion in Diana's life, but now she has moved back into the business world.
