Miss Anna Linsmith B.A. (Hons)

Anna grew up in the Home Counties going to school in Beaconsfield, before studying Sociology then Leisure and Recreation Management at the University of Gloucestershire followed by Bucks Chilterns University College. After managing a series of sports centres and hospitality venues across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire, Anna spent eighteen months travelling the world. On her return, Anna came to Norfolk to work at UEA in a variety of senior management roles at Sportspark, where she remained for thirteen years. After leading the Sportspark to two nationally recognised awards in two years, Anna joined the Town Close team in 2019 as the Assistant Bursar (Estates). Anna can be found outside; whether this be on her allotment, on a hockey pitch, up a mountain in her tent, whittling wood or training to climb Everest, she never stays still for long.
