White Nave Directors
Rachael Daniels
 Rachael is the Creative Director of White Nave. She holds a Diploma in Arts Management and has over six years experience in managing and co-ordinating arts projects.
In the early part of her career Rachael was the Fine Art School Administrator for the University College for the Creative Arts (UCCA, formerly KIAD - Kent Institute for Art and Design) and worked closely with the both the staff, visiting lecturers and the School's emerging artists. From 2002 she worked freelance with White Window as their Project Manager and was involved in many of the company's exhibitions and cultural interventions in both Kent and Nord-Pas de Calais.
In her role as Project Manager with White Window, Rachael has liaised with and worked alongside many established artists including David Medalla, Adam Nankervis, Tacita Dean, Judith Dean, Mark Wright, Peter Fillingham, David Goldenberg, Rupert Norfolk, Seamus Farell and Phillida Barlow.
In 2006, due to the founder partners' changes in circumstances (mainly relocation), ownership of the White Window company was passed to Rachael, leaving her free to arrange and curate her own projects in the spirit of the company. It was then that the White Nave umbrella organisation was formed with her mother and co-director Sue Daniels, under which the White Window company now sits.

"My career in the arts has given me an insight into a world which is a far cry from what I had expected. It has shown me an environment which has no boundaries and no negative judgement. Artists I have met along the way are now my close friends and I feel I have become part of a movement which matters. I look forward to making new friends and encountering new adventures for many years to come".

Sue Daniels
 Sue is Director for Business and Management for White Nave. She holds a Diploma in Management Studies (Kent University) and is a registered Prince2 Practitioner. Sue has many years experience in management including running her own companies.
For the past eight years Sue has worked for the University of Kent's Business School managing or co-ordinating a range of projects that formed part of the School's corporate and external services. Notably Sue was the Business School's co-ordinator for the China FIST Programme which was funded by the Department for International Development (DfID) and managed by the British Council. During their induction with the Business School, Sue co-ordinated operations, events and welfare for some 250 middle managers from China's Financial sector and was the lynchpin for the many stakeholders in the project both in China and the UK.
Between 2005 and 2008 Sue managed the successful Fresh Challenges project, a European Social Fund (ESF) programme co-financed by the Kent and Medway Learning and Skills Council (LSC) aimed at helping women progress in management positions by providing professional management training delivered through partner Further Education colleges and supported by a programme of Learner Conferences, Training Workshops and a Mentoring Scheme. The project, which closed on 31st December 2007 had a contract value of £0.5m and funded management training for over 450 women in Kent.
An ardent networker, Sue has many contacts in the realm of business support and training that she intends to use in this new venture. Her past roles have involved her in a wide range of educational provision and allowed her to keep up to date with Government plans to address social inclusion, to regenerate local economies and to promote the UK abroad.

"With a creative background myself, Rachael and I work well together as a team. We both bring to the table a range of creative, business and operational skills. A second generation of entrepreneurial spirit has rekindled my desire to develop a new creative venture which will allow me to follow my passions and interests in education and regeneration."
