More About Get Ahead
Having taken a career break to start a family, Rebecca Newenham didn’t want to compromise when it came to her professional ambitions or her family life. Finding no opportunities that fitted her need for freedom, flexibility and autonomy she decided to create her own.
Rebecca founded Get Ahead in 2010 after recognising a gap in the market for business support services that offer the flexibility, value and performance that companies need to thrive in the fast-evolving digital world.
In 2024 Rebecca is looking for 4 remarkable, like-minded women to partner with Get Ahead and run their own regional offices.
What our existing partners say…
FIONA – ex retailer who set up Get Ahead Leeds in 2018
“I am not limited by my own skills or by my capacity. I love the fact that I can support any business as I know I can find the resource and skill set within the wider team. I love the fact that we are working on so many different projects, I love the variety of the clients and the work we do. And I love the variety in the team – I thrive on variety. No one day is the same and the work is never monotonous.
Being a Get Ahead Partner gives me a comfort blanket that I wouldn’t have had if I had set up on my own from scratch. A lot of people have asked me why I haven’t set up on my own – Get Ahead attracted me and I wanted to work in a collaborative and growing partnership.”
KRISTY – set up Get Ahead Southern Region in 2019 in partnership with a friend
“Get Ahead enables me to have total control over my professional success. And run my own business with absolute autonomy but feel very nurtured and cradled by Rebecca Newenham, the Get Ahead Regional Partners and the wider community. There is no line management structure, there is power in the whole Get Ahead network.
The best thing is the variety – variety of clients that we deal with, the wide ranging solutions that we come up with, all of these give me a buzz. I loved variety in some of my corporate work but I was drained of any energy as often the work was the same all the time. I now get energy every time I speak to a new client. Our work isn’t off the shelf – I love building a bespoke solution for each client. They come back to us due to the bespoke nature of our support.”
EMMA – set up Get Ahead East Midlands in 2020
“I wanted control of what I was going to do. The choice to do something I was going to enjoy – the flexibility and freedom to enable me to work around my family. The beauty of being a Get Ahead Partner is that I could start something from scratch which could feel lonely, isolating and even scary when you are used to the corporate environment. But Get Ahead was a middle ground – you have the control and all the benefits but you also have a comfort blanket of support from the Get Ahead team. I have always loved the non-competitive nature of the business, it is very supportive. I see this as a unique quality which comes from Rebecca Newenham as she is so balanced. Get Ahead HQ is inclusive of everyone, you get the the best of both worlds, it is a great community. Becoming a Get Ahead Partner was an easy step to make for me and a comfortable one to take.
Get Ahead is a transparent, flexible and collaborative partnership.”
Get Ahead’s supportive team
Since 2017, Get Ahead has grown exponentially. We now have regional offices in Leeds, York and Harrogate, the East Midlands, Suffolk, Essex and Oxford, not to mention our Southern England super-hub.
Rebecca loves building her relationships with fabulous and inspiring regional directors, whom she supports to grow their own successful Get Ahead businesses. She is a true champion of flexible working, embracing it as an opportunity not a compromise.
Every partner helps her make the business stronger – listening to their ideas and working with them furthers the direction of the company. She is a passionate advocate for each and every one of her regional directors and loves nothing more than helping a new partner make their regional business a huge success.
Rebecca is very proud of the success of Get Ahead, with recognition including a 2020 SME News ‘Business Elite’ Award and a prestigious Theo Paphitis ‘Small Business Sunday’ award. She was also herself chosen as one of 2020’s Top 100 Female Entrepreneurs in the UK.
