Susie
Operations Manager
Susie is Operations Manager at Urban Foundry, helping to coordinate the smooth running of our projects and activities, including Urban HQ and Swansea Bay Street Markets. A local resident, she first became involved as a volunteer at the very first Uplands Market in 2013 and has been part of the markets ever since, joining the team professionally in 2020.
Before joining Urban Foundry, Susie spent 25 years working in primary and special education, including managing Swansea’s home tuition service. She’s also a qualified clinical massage therapist and runs two successful businesses, bringing valuable experience in organisation, customer service and entrepreneurship to her role.
Susie loves the community atmosphere of the markets and the opportunity to support independent traders and bring people together. Outside work, she enjoys reading, knitting and exploring the Gower, and has even trekked to Everest Base Camp and gone white-water rafting in Bhutan.
