She then moved into advertising and met travel business entrepreneur John Boyle who invited her to work at Motherwell football club which he owned. She transformed the team and was then head hunted for Hibs. She talks to Edi about her experiences with both teams and about the relationship that means most….her partnership with the woman she met in her twenties who changed her life.
