Lyza Davies

Manager

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, travelling, and gardening. These activities allow me to explore new flavours, cultures, and ideas while also providing a sense of relaxation and fulfilment.

I aim to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment at the Queen Mary Centre by enhancing the quality of services and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. My focus is on supporting community engagement, improving customer experiences, and creating a space that reflects the values of cooperation and care. I also strive to cultivate strong relationships with my colleagues and visitors, ensuring that the centre remains a hub of positive activity and support.

I am inspired by the power of community and the impact of small, thoughtful improvements that can make a big difference. Seeing how collaboration, creativity, and dedication can bring about positive change in people’s lives motivates me. I draw inspiration from my team’s passion and commitment to making the Queen Mary Centre a space where everyone feels valued and connected.

Community Centre Events & Facilities Officer

My name is Aneta Szczygiel, and I've been part of the great team at the Queen Mary Centre for some time now. It's a pleasure to be in this fantastic place and have the opportunity to participate in organizing events for our community. My hobbies are painting, drawing, renovation, sewing, and decorating. My creative side, and being part of the Queen Mary Centre, allows me to share that with the company. I enjoy long walks and my running routine.

Sophie Maynard

Part-Time Receptionist/Administrator

I have been racing Stock Cars since I was 11 (I’m now 25!). From the age of 11 I raced in a junior class and had many successes, including winning the European Championship at age 15, over in Holland, Netherlands. I started in a senior class in 2016 where I won the 'Newcomer of the Year' and have had many race victories since. I took a couple of years out as we welcomed my son into the world! Recently I have taken back up in the driving seat and will be back to competing full time in 2025.  Apart from this, I enjoy days out with my family and meeting up with friends/family.

Currently I am working 2 days a week as this allows me to still be able to spend quality time with my 2 year old son. My aims will be to increase my hours as he starts school and I hope to take on more responsibilities and progress into a higher role. I aspire to continue being the best mother to my son and partner to my boyfriend that I possibly can be.

I think the best part of my role is meeting all of the people that walk through the door. The difference that a simple cup of tea and a chat makes really is humbling and I love being able to help some of the lovely members of our community. Also, working with such a great team really does make coming to work a pleasure.

My aim is to make the Queen Mary Centre the heart of the community where people would come every day and enjoy the facilities.

I feel at home here instantly and our team just want to make the QMC the best it can be and with hard work and dedication we will make that come true and I am glad to be a part of the future of the QMC.
