Career Change Story: From Tour Guide to Matchmaker

by Marianne Cantwell

This is the second in a series of video interviews with inspirational career changers. “They did it, so can you” maps out how people – just like you – made the move from ‘regular’ jobs, to a dream career.

Mary Balfour has had an amazing career. After leaving school at 14 and a half and sampling at least 5 different careers, she fulfilled her dream of running the UK’s first introductions agency…. at a time when no such thing existed.

Drawing Down the Moon is now the best known dating introductions agency in the UK: here is the story of how Mary got there. As you watch, listen out for the hints throughout that matchmaking was always Mary’s passion!

Thanks to MY Production for their fabulous video editing on this series.

    Love it Marianne – what a great story. Photographing kittens in baskets. I think my mum still uses some of these cards. I love the career progression and how the journey developed. Fantastic!!!
