Janne McKay has never had a resume. She never needed one. When you go straight to the top, there are no managers to answer to or to try to impress. When your first job out of school is running the business you created, doing the work you are called to do, there is never much need to apply, sit through a job interview, or negotiate a pay raise.
Mrs McKay and her husband David are that rare thing - the self-made professional - and after 50 years of business in Newcastle, they are set to retire this week.
