In 2010 after a career break Rebecca wanted something for herself. She researched Virtual Assistants and realised that this was something she could do and make it whatever she wanted it to be.
Rebecca does not have a PA background – her background was as a retail buyer. Learn how Rebecca started out and grew into Get Ahead VA.
After a corporate career in buying for retail giants Superdrug and Sainsburys, Rebecca was looking for a flexible work solution that could fit around her lifestyle and three daughters.

Her mum was a real inspiration and Rebecca grew up knowing that she wanted one day to run her own business just like her mum did.
