Here’s 60 seconds with our expert Georgia:
Name: Georgia
Area of expertise: Social Media & General Admin
When & why did you join Get Ahead: I joined Get Ahead in December 2024, after almost 5 years of being a Virtual Assistant. For me, being a VA is the only job in which I have felt fulfilled and can tangibly see my contributions having an impact. In joining Get Ahead I hope to forge new relationships with amazing business owners or teams, contributing to their success.
What did you do before you joined Get Ahead: I have a first-class honours degree in marketing and have worked within several internal marketing teams in the travel industry and social housing. I also worked for a London based company who organised key speaker events. I started my business in January 2020 and since then have supported businesses across a wide variety of sectors from graphic design and commercial signage to sports and professional development.
Career highlight to date: My highlight would have to be supporting one of my current clients who I have been working with for over 3 years. They are a small graphic design agency who certified as a B Corp in 2021. At the time there was only 6 other B Corps in the North East and we wanted to connect with other likeminded businesses and spread the word about becoming certified in the hope that others would do the same. We held the first B Social event which was a huge success and has really paved the way for future events. We now have over 20 B Corps in the North East and that number is quickly increasing!
Plans for the future: I would like to continue running a successful business that allows me to enjoy a work/life balance.
