Jools Granville

Biography

Jools Granville is a proactive and passionate marketing and management professional who has, for over 15 years, specialised in creating compelling campaigns for the not-for-profit and charity sectors.

Jools says, “I work for organisations and people that really interest me, so I am in the lucky position of loving my work. It’s important to me that I also use my skills as a volunteer for those organisations I believe in who need expert help and advice.”

Jools has previously offered her free time to such diverse organisations as the Alzheimers Society, addictions charities and human rights groups. Her current professional role often sees her travelling around the UK which gives her an indirect benefit of being a Radio 4 addict thus have the edge at pub quizzes, until the sport round occurs!

Originally hailing from the Northumberland coast, she currently lives in Totterdown with her husband and their cat, Mr Herbertson. She most misses her family, the sea and the lilting north east accent but insists that this is in many ways counterbalanced by the South West’s balmy temperatures, regular family visits, fabulous people… and pieminster pies.

Jools early CV includes both undergraduate and postgraduate education in her beloved Newcastle and as she spends some free time each year swatting up for continuous professional development courses. She spends a much larger proportion inducing in her passions: reading “any novel I can get my hands on… as long as it is not too sad!”, travel theatre, history, food, long walks, wine and friends.

Jools is entirely new to Scouting and is looking forward to meeting a diverse group of people.
