Hena joined the Sunderland BID team in 2022, bringing with her a wealth of administrative experience and a background in events, customer service and community work. In her role as Executive Assistant and Office Administrator, she supports the smooth running of day-to-day operations, works closely with the Chief Executive, board members and stakeholders and helps coordinate key initiatives such as our Professional Lunches and business networking events.
Her calm, organised approach and collaborative spirit make her a valuable part of the team, contributing behind the scenes to ensure everything runs seamlessly.
After returning from maternity leave in April 2025, Hena continues to balance her work with family life and running her own small business. Outside of the office, she enjoys reading and making the most of any quiet moment she can find (these are VERY rare)!
