Marie Peters joins the business with over 15 years’ experience in digital media planning, business operations and project management roles. Peters will be running the West Surrey region, supporting businesses from Farnham up to Kingston-upon-Thames. After meeting the founder and director, Rebecca Newenham, and the team at the Women in Business Expo, Peters knew she had found her newest challenge.
Get Ahead VA offers nationwide marketing and business support services, enabling businesses of all sizes and from all sectors to get ahead. From bookkeeping to blogging, database management to design and telephone answering to Twitter, the team of highly skilled virtual assistants deliver support on an hourly, project or ongoing basis.
HR expert Jo Munroe has over 15 years of experience in recruitment, HR and business management. Munroe joins Get Ahead VA as regional director for South Yorkshire, including Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, Sheffield and Worksop. She came across the brand on a franchise website and could immediately see how the opportunity fitted perfectly with her background of helping to grow businesses. Buying the franchise has not only enabled her to run her own business but also be part of a team while being supported along the way.
Both women will be working flexibly around their families, growing their own teams and attracting new clients to the business.
Newenham said: “I am delighted to welcome both new franchisees to our team. With regional directors in Berkshire and North Hants, Bristol, Guildford, Leeds, Newcastle and South Yorkshire, as well as West Surrey, we have an expanding presence in many key regional areas. I look forward to seeing our team continue to grow over the coming months and supporting all of our franchisees as they welcome new clients on board.”
