Award-winning virtual outsourcing agency Get Ahead is delighted to be supporting businesses across Manchester, Stockport, Oldham, Altrincham and Knutsford as experienced franchisee Jo Munroe opens up the Manchester region.
HR expert Jo Munroe has over 15 years of experience in recruitment, HR and business management in the construction, manufacturing, medical and transport industries. After a successful career in HR, Jo was looking for a flexible employment solution that would enable her to use her significant expertise in helping businesses grow, whilst working flexibly around her young family. She joined Get Ahead as franchisee for South Yorkshire at the start of 2020 and is now taking on the Manchester region.
Jo says: “I came across Get Ahead VA on a franchise website and quickly realised it was exactly what I had been looking for. It fitted perfectly with my background and the founder, Rebecca Newenham, was so passionate about the brand. I could see that I would be able to run my own business but also be part of a team and supported along the way.
Since joining the franchise in January 2020 it’s been a fantastic experience and I have learnt so much. Despite all the challenges of COVID, the Get Ahead team has been very supportive and my amazing clients have made it all worthwhile. I love helping people and always have. Seeing amazing things happen for other businesses is why I started this journey and I am excited to be starting the next stage of my business’s development in the thriving city of Manchester. ”
Rebecca Newenham, founder and director of Get Ahead said: “Jo has done a fantastic job in South Yorkshire and I am delighted she will be opening up Manchester for us. Manchester is such an important city with thousands of growing businesses that Jo and her team are ready to help. Particularly as businesses recover from the pandemic, outsourcing can help them remain responsive and agile, accessing marketing and business support services as and when they need them.

With our first international franchisee coming soon, along with existing franchisees in Berkshire & North Hants, East Midlands, Leeds, Suffolk & Essex, Surrey, West London, Wirral & Cheshire West and York & Harrogate, I am excited about the future of Get Ahead.”
