Girlguiding UK

In a webchat in September 2006, she said her most memorable experience as a Guide was "an "incident hike" - our team got lost on a moor, capsized our raft and missed the casualty we were meant to rescue - but amazing fun!"[3]
Burnley was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2010 Birthday Honours.[4]

Professionally, she has worked in Human Resources for BREL and Boots Group. She now is a programme director for Common Purpose UK since 2007. Now widowed, Burnley was formerly married (Roger Burnley in 2000).
