Looks like you've made a good start.

Here are a few pointers to help out a little:

1. You put too much space for your achievements and not enough for work. It also looks like some of your achievements could be intertwined in your work experience. Consultants need to have breadth of experience with achievements, not separate.

2. I'd get rid of your 'Modern School' entry all together. You have a 1st degree now making your 'Modern School' irrelevant. That frees up more space for work achievements.

3. Expand more on your work entries. What you achieved, used, did etc. Cover the where, what, why and how.

4. Hone and focus your messaging. Some entries in your CV seem to contradict themselves i.e. you won £4000 but got to level 2? Confusing. Make sure your messaging is clear, targeted and consistent.

Hope that helps. For more please visit CV Clinic
