The real me

Ruth is married with two children, who are constantly sharpening her project management, negotiation and client management skills.

A member of various choirs, Ruth has sung on stage at the Royal Albert Hall with Mica Paris, and recorded an album (sadly unreleased!) with Boy George. She also likes to hog the microphone at any karaoke venue who will have her.
