Previous work has included a seven-year period as director of the Salisbury Festival which she transformed from a local affair to what The Times described as a 'miracle of modern British culture'.
Helen went to Salisbury after creating the first Arts and Events programme for the developers of Canary Wharf in London. Prior to that she was an associate director of the London International Festival of Theatre. She began her working life with Artsadmin where she managed a variety of independent artists in the early 1980s.
