She left school in 1985, after refusing to sit Higher examinations (ever the rebel!) and went straight to work as an office junior at the local Volkswagen Car Dealership. She married in 1992 and changed jobs soon after, moving to work in the local Job Centre. Here began a 19-year career with the Government. She started work as an admin assistant and gained many promotions over time. She was an Operations Manager in charge of all the Job Centres across Aberdeenshire, Moray, Orkney and Shetland before moving into District Roles within the North of Scotland where she was responsible for implementing any Welfare Reforms introduced by the Government.

When daughter, Mel returned to football and specifically became the captain of the newly formed Elgin City FC Women’s team Wendy found a passion for Borough Briggs.
