As part of our Big Love For Small Business campaign, we asked Rebecca the following questions …
What motivates you to keep going in your business?
Delivering excellence service to clients offering expertise, practical advice at a reasonable cost.
What are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced as a business owner?
COVID – just keeping the doors open and providing vital services during this time was extremely challenging. Currently recruitment and retention of trained staff is difficult and providing a friendly and welcoming workplace is key
What are some of your proudest wins or achievements in your business journey?
Becoming the first female managing partner of the business, driving growth and expertise, achieving industry quality standards recognising excellent service and management.
What advice would you give to someone thinking about starting their own business?
Plan, revisit, plan, assess, plan … and understand the skills you need in yourself and others to grow.
What do you love doing in your free time?
I love sport, especially rugby, tennis, weights, running and cycling and have taken part in many endurance challenges for charitable causes. This explains why I am always tired!
What do you love most about our community?
Collaboration – we are all here to support each other. It’s a great network to be part of with a wide range of services, products and most importantly knowledge. There is always someone to help and guide in a supportive way.
Rebecca is a valued sponsor of Women Who Worcestershire and we are so grateful for her support and valuable contributions to our community. Her knowledge and guidance has supported many of our members and will continue to do so in the years to come.
