Malcolm’s career has seen him working in Sales Operations and Customer Service management roles for some SMEs but mainly for large global companies over a working life of some 35 years. Consequently, he has experienced the joys of “organisational restructuring” a couple of times. During these episodes Malcolm has used the services of the M3 Job Club and having recently retired he wanted to come back and support the organisation. In his spare time Malcolm is trying to restore his tennis to a recognisable level as well starting to play bridge after a gap of some decades.

Gill is a retired lady of some 4 years, whose career spanned nearly 50 years mainly in the IT corporate arena within key multi-national corporations such as IBM, Motorola, Fujitsu Siemens and most latterly APC Schneider Electric. Her roles ranged from Strategic and Channel Marketing to pure Account Sales spending the final 5 years as Director of Alliances in APC. Gill is a graduate of IBM Sales School.
Following retirement, she did not feel she had a direction until she engaged with the M3 Job Club. Seeing the charity for herself and getting involved, she found that direction, which has led her to being offered a trustee position at M3JC.
Gill lives in the UK countryside and is married with 2 adult children. Her hobbies include keeping fit with gym workouts and hosting dinner parties.

Having faced his own personal challenge of trying to find a job by himself, feeling isolated and frustrated, he felt there had to be a better way, which culminated in setting up the M3 Job Club. With over 30 years of experience working with people, managing teams of all sizes in the catering & hospitality and then IT services in blue chip organisations, he set out to give something back to the community.
Entirely focused on helping people to discover their focus and direction via the M3 Job Club, he is passionate about giving everyone the opportunity to succeed.
After having run his own business for around 7 years, he recently went back into full time employment.

Maxine is Operations Director for Wote Street People and Regional Director for TEAM (The Employment Agents Movement) with over 15 years recruitment experience.
Networking is a natural skill and where there is a common synergy between people, she spots the opportunity to connect them. Diversity & equality are the keystones of her ethics and not just measuring them.
Maxine believes it should be innate that people are treated equally and the chance to make a difference by helping “over qualified”, more experienced people back into the workplace, is a real honour.
One of the drivers for Maxine is that she believes that M3JC is the only organisation who gets the business transaction side of work and fully realise that employers are not social workers – it’s business.
