Flying Without Wingers!

This year marks 20-20 Trustees 40th birthday. From humble beginnings to almost tripling in size since 2017, we’re meeting the team that help make the magic happen. In our latest episode, we meet Frances Reilly.


I’m a Trustee Consultant. I’m quite new to the job, so still learning… come back in a few months!

Growing up, I wanted to be a teacher. Just primary school though (less attitude!)

Suiting and booting. My first job was as a Sales Assistant at Greenwoods Menswear. I mainly dealt with weddings and proms!

I’m a Netballer. Since moving house, I’m on the hunt for a new local team (so give us a shout if you need a winger!)

If I could invite anyone over for a dinner party. I’d invite David Attenborough for his voice, Tom Hanks as my favourite actor, and Adam Sandler for the laughs!

Frances can usually be found shooting hoops!

The last gig went to was for The Killers. I also have tickets for Sam Fender and Foals to look forward to.

I recently went to Ibiza. I went with my boyfriend, so it was a bit more of a chilled trip! We went to Nikki Beach for the day which was beautiful!

I’m a plane-spotter! I live on the flight path for Manchester Airport, so my most useful app is Flightradar24. I love having a nosey at where planes are landing from / going to!

My career highlight. Joining the 20-20 team, obviously! 😊

Don’t be afraid to step outside your comfort zone. That would be advice I’d give my younger self!
