Sandra Young, Director
A PR and marketing specialist, Sandra's main operational role is
as Managing Director of the Wilky Group's Parallel Business Centres
division. Before interrupting her career to start a family in the
early '80s she was Marketing Director of a large DIY and retail
store then owned by the Group.
In 1984, having gained a Communications and Marketing Diploma and
become a Member of the Institute of Public Relations, she founded
a separate PR company, The Parallel Group, and continues as its
Managing Director. In response to the recession of the early '90s
the company conceived and ran a campaign that led to the formation
of a county inward investment agency and two local business forums
in Guildford and Waverley.
In past years, she has been a non-executive director of County Sound Radio Ltd.,
which holds the Guildford commercial radio licence covering most
of Surrey and North East Hampshire, since the station was launched.
As a former board member of Southampton Chamber of Commerce and a long serving member of both Surrey and Guildford
Chambers of Commerce, she has been energetically involved in the
business affairs of the region.
In 2008 she was appointed one of 1,000 nationwide ambassadors in a government project to encourage more female entrepreneurs. As a Women's Enterprise Ambassador Sandra is tasked with raising the profile of the important contribution women make to the economy by speaking at business events, in schools and writing about her experiences in the media.
