I am quoting her website:
“Jane became a trainer in 1990 in a range of soft skills, focusing on race and gender equality and diversity combined with Disability Awareness training and consultancy.
But her world and perspective on diversity and equality changed in 2004 when she sustained a spinal injury, leading to unsuccessful surgery which left her moderately disabled. What could have been a very dark time for Jane turned out to be her inspiration and in 2005 she founded Public Sector Providers, initially trading from her front bedroom. Within 12 months PSP had office premises, three staff, thirty trainers and a string of contracts with the public sector.
2008 was a year of highs and lows – Jane was a finalist in Stelios Disabled Entrepreneurs Award. But just 4 days after the awards dinner, experimental spinal surgery designed to resolve her worsening disability failed. Once again she faced the prospect of running a business with severe limitations – unable to sit, bend or lift, and with a limited ability to stand or walk, lying flat for at least 20 hours a day.”
