We are delighted that Emma Woods Chief Executive Officer of the Green Howards Trust in Richmond will be sharing her business journey.

Emma Woods began her diverse career in the decorative arts as a silver specialist. She worked for the Royal Collection cataloguing the silver before moving to Yorkshire where she set up a business inventorying private collections and selling silver. In a big career change, Emma purchased a sawmill that was facing closure and turned it into a profitable business while maintaining the traditional skills. After selling the mill, she is now the Chief Executive Officer of the Green Howards Trust in Richmond, overseeing the Trust and the museum.
