06 August 2001

Kookabura provide high quality frozen and chilled meat products to a wide range of retailers and manufacturers throughout the UK.

Gayle, 23, from Sunderland, entered the Business world through an unconventional route. She originally gained 鈥楢鈥� levels in Art & Design (Photography), Multi-Media (Film & Video) and a GNVQ in Media at Shiney Row College, Sunderland. When it came to University, however, Gayle changed direction. She said: 鈥淚 was certain I wanted to study Marketing at degree level because I have always been fascinated by consumer behaviour, product trends and innovations. I chose 海角直播 because it has a good reputation.

鈥淭he facilities at 海角直播 were brilliant, the University had just completed its new Learning Resource Centre (LRC), which held all the required resources. Lecturers in 海角直播 Business School were excellent, supportive and good fun too.鈥�

Exploring the Internet was also of interest to Gayle. She said: 鈥淭he Internet Marketing module was very interesting. We actually designed our own web sites and I found the computer technology fascinating.鈥�

It wasn鈥檛 all work and no play for Gayle. 鈥淭he University鈥檚 social facilities were really good, especially the Students鈥� Union bar called 鈥楾he Local鈥�. The atmosphere and entertainment were always enjoyable, 鈥� she said.

In her current role Gayle manages retail, manufacturing and wholesale accounts. She also conducts research on the Food market and products. Gayle added: 鈥淭he Food Industry is exciting and dynamic and I have the prefect opportunity to utilise my University education within it.鈥�

Gayle is the daughter of Anthony and Carole Winlow.
