Liz has been with the team at Click since 2017, working both as an Administrator an Finance Assistant.

Fun Fact: Liz was asked to leave the Brownies as a child, as she had removed the vicar’s gate during a challenge of finding items in his garden beginning with each letter of the alphabet. She still believes this wasn’t fair, as there was no other item beginning with the letter ‘G’!
Wendy started working with Click back in 2011 in an Adminstrator role. Before this, she had dedicated herself to a career in law, starting from the bottom as an Office Junior and having worked her way up to an Office Manager position. This has given her a keen eye for detail, which she uses to benefit both the team here and also those working with us.
Away from the office, Wendy enjoys spending time with her daughter and granddaughter. She loves to bake and also really enjoys dancing, having even done masterclasses with Strictly professionals Natalie Lowe and Ian Waite!
Fun Fact: Wendy’s a true fan of romantic novels, with her favourite being Jane Austen’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’ – she loves the historical charm of the characters that Austen brings with her writing.
Mandy started with Click at the formation of the company in 2009 as Finance Manager, overseeing the company’s planning, budgeting and reporting functions. She supports the team with sound day-to-day operations, a commitment to financial integrity and continuous improvement.
Previously, Mandy had worked in the voluntary sector with a children’s services project that supported parents and children with care and play opportunities, whilst providing training and work experience for people aiming to work with children.

Colin began his career in the land-based sector before moving into further education as a teacher, working his way up the ranks to become a senior manager. He has been involved in a wide range of curriculum areas, including construction, commercial services and land based. Colin then moved into interim management roles with Click for 5 years before becoming a full-time member of the team in 2016. He particularly values his time working with students who find accessing education and learning more challenging. Colin is also a Vice Chair of Governors at a large London College and is a part time Ofsted inspector.
In his spare time, Colin enjoys travelling with his family and dog and is a keen reader.
Fun Fact: Colin is a huge fan of historical drama stories, such as the James Clavell Asia sagas – he loves how they paint a colourful picture of social attitudes and how those attitudes have changed over the centuries.
Armed with in-depth knowledge and know-how of the UK’s further education sector resourcing, Annette has been going the extra mile with clients at Click since 2015. As an experienced former senior college manager, she has worked across a wide range of colleges and areas of specialism, including apprenticeship growth, marketing and ESF projects. She also has worked as an interim manager, bringing first-hand experience in placing associates. Prior to working in the further education sector, Annette was in marketing and business development.
Outside of work she enjoys walking her two dogs and socialising with friends. She also loves to travel and is slowly working through her bucket list of places to visit.
Fun Fact: As part of her ‘turning 40 crisis’, Annette decided to run a half marathon. As she was nearing the finish line, the traffic policeman on duty reported into his walkie talkie ‘just the stragglers coming through now’ – she hasn’t run a race since!
Our Founder, Kate Mulleady, has decades of experience in successfully placing high-quality interim managers and consultants with all kinds of education and skills providers. Kate has an in-depth understanding of the challenges faced by the further education sector, having first-hand experience as a former senior college manager herself. She was the Executive Vice Principal at Sutton Coldfield college for 10 years, and Interim Vice Principal and a Governor at Dudley College.
In 2009, she noticed that further education professionals need to be secure in the knowledge that they are dealing with a resourcing team that truly understands their interim management needs, quality improvement goals and recruitment requirements. She set out to give clients all the certainty they’ll ever need, building a team that has first-hand knowledge and experience of working in the UK further education and skills provision, and that is how Click was created.
