Angela Stafford
Angela Stafford has lived and worked in Bangkok since 1995. She first came to Thailand in 1989 in connection with her work when she was the project manager for British Rail Engineering's first export order to supply diesel railcars to the State Railway of Thailand.
In 2001 Angela started working at BNH Hospital as the manager of the international centre. Over the next 10 years Angela helped increase brand awareness and brand loyalty through community projects and launched a range of fundraising initiatives including the BNH Bed Push which benefited the Thai Red Cross AIDS charities and the Phad Thai ‘Pad-a-Thai-Eye’ parties supporting the People Eye Care Foundation. She was also the organiser of the BNH Let’s Knit for the Needy campaign in 2009 which provided knitted blankets to children in a remote mountain area of Thailand. In November 2010 Angela resigned from BNH to return to England to help take care of her father.
In April 2006 Angela and Thai partner, Khun Wipa, who owns Siwat Printing Company, bought the Lotus Design and Publishing company from its creator, Susan Race, who was leaving Thailand to return to live in her native country, Australia. Since returning to live in Thailand in July 2011, Angela has decided to devote her time and energy to build the Lotus Design and Publishing brand and increase it business potential.
