Talking at the Guernsey Investment Fund Association’s annual dinner, Ms Brady (pictured) spoke about the challenges of running a successful football club and having two children.

‘I definitely don’t think you can have it all. I have to do that thing we all do – juggle.

‘And we all have different ways of dealing with it,’ said the 39-year-old, whose list of accolades includes being Cosmopolitan magazine’s woman of the year 2006.

‘I always intended going back to work and I was lucky that I found good childcare and had the support of family. It’s difficult to be a working mother without finding the right mix.’

Ms Brady, who was made the club’s managing director at the age of 23, also spoke about running a successful business, how to turn it around and the importance of investing in staff.
