Gillian Turner – Bookbinding, Worshipful Company of Stationers 

Thanks to ‘Bound by Veterans’, Gilly overcame the daunting change that comes with leaving the military under a medical discharge. Bookbinding has given her a new passion and real direction in her life. Gilly served over 10 years in the Army in the Royal Logistic Corps where she specialised in Bomb Disposal but due to injury she was medically discharged. Gilly puts effort into all her work and is concerned with producing the best work that she can. Whilst working on her apprenticeship she has followed a City & Guilds curriculum and spent time outside of working hours practising and re-making items for each module until she was happy that it was her best work.
