Balsall Common Pen Portraits

Angelyn Solanki

I joined Balsall Common LGB in May 2023 as a co-opted school governor. I am a lawyer for an energy company and have two decades of legal experience which I hope will provide a useful skill set to the governing body.

I have three children all currently in BCPS and therefore I am fully invested in the outcomes of the school and ensuring a nurturing and stimulating educational environment is provided now and in the future.

Beyond my professional and parental duties, I am an amateur ceramicist and love to cook, read and travel with my family.

I joined the LGB in December 2022. My Governor role will focus on leadership and management and a link for wellbeing. I previously held the position of secretary for BCPS PTA from 2016 until 2022.

I have 25 years’ experience in Human Resources. My current role is Head of People for a ceramics distributor in the Midlands. Prior to this I have worked in HR Management positions within automotive manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and furniture manufacturing. I have varied and generalist background in HR.

I have consulted Board of Directors on re-structuring, training and development, policy implementation and employee relations. I have navigated through turbulent COVID times, including furlough and redundancies. Thankfully, now I am concentrating on positive and pro-active projects such as recruitment and brand development through our Investors in People accreditation.

I have lived in Balsall Common for 13 years with my Husband and two children, both educated at BCPS. Outside of work I am part of the coaching team for the Kenilworth Junior Triathlon Group and a volunteer for junior park runs. At a weekend you can often find me at a local park run in a high vis. I also have a keen interest in reading and musical theatre.
