Carol Bellamy
Director
Carol is mother to Stephanie, who has been happily attending Cali full time since opening day.
“I have watched in awe as Stephanie developed into a wonderful bright and beautiful young woman. This didn’t happen by accident. Stephanie's school had an 'anything is possible' attitude that enabled their students to succeed beyond all expectations. Cali has been created to provide opportunities for these young adults to continue to prosper."
This mindset of anything is possible, and turning roadblocks into challenges is what has been core to Carol's career as a valuer of Fine Art and Antiques for corporate, state and private clients throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe.
She values the opinion and skillset of others and embraces collaboration to deliver the best outcomes.
She brings that mindset and experience to Cali to help develop a service that will enable Stephanie and others to continue to achieve success, an excellent quality of life and happiness at the core."
Carol studied at The London College of Furniture and Griffith College.
She is an Associate Member of the Society of Chartered Surveyors of Ireland (SCSI), Arts & Antiques Division.
