He has also worked in the private sector, having run his own consultancy business for several years.

Jackie then returned to local government, working with the London Borough of Newham as corporate finance manager before joining Cornwall County Council in 2008 prior to it achieving unitary status. As assistant head of finance she was responsible for both treasury management and the pension fund. She left Cornwall Council in 2011 and co-founded Public Sector Live to specialise in public sector risk analysis.
