Karen Celisse-Sim

Entrepreneur and a Business Woman

I started my management career as MD of a printing, design and publishing company. I worked in the 1990s as an Environmental Manager, you will have seen me on the TV covering environmental stories, where I spent many a day grappling throught the undergrowth with David Bellamy, building bat caves, saving great crested newts and building otter habitat. I was also the schools liaison manager, teaching children the dangers of the railway. My biggest professional achievement, to date, was as a key member of the management team responsible for the design, construction and opening of the New Kings Cross Station. My greatest personal achievement is my children's education, health, wellbeing and happiness. I believe that all children deserve the chance to flourish and my work with Edukit gives me the chance to work with organisations that are there to support children with whatever their needs may be. Our future is in their hands.
