Get Ahead, the award-winning virtual outsourcing agency, is delighted to announce the addition of a new franchisee to its expanding network. Hazel Hall will lead the Kent region, helping companies in Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Ashford and beyond to get ahead.
A CIPD-qualified HR Manager, Hazel is highly skilled in people management and training and development, with exceptional coaching and counselling skills. Having worked in a cross-functional role leading both Marketing and HR at a global engineering company, Hazel also brings significant expertise in Marketing Management, Business Planning, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Event Management.
Looking for a new challenge, Hazel first came across Get Ahead on LinkedIn. “A post about a quiz to discover if running your own virtual outsourcing agency could be the right next step caught my eye, and I decided to complete it. I had been looking for a new opportunity for a while but hadn’t found the right solution. Though I enjoyed my charity HR management role, I wanted to do something different.
I considered setting up my own HR Consulting firm, but the Get Ahead opportunity attracted me as it gave me the scope to do that and much more. The franchise is incredibly flexible, and joining an established franchise fills me with confidence. I know I could set up independently, but by joining the Get Ahead team, I have all the marketing and support I need.”
Over the next few months, Hazel looks forward to networking and building connections with many local businesses across Kent, including Tunbridge Wells, Ashford, and Sevenoaks. Hazel adds, “The other Get Ahead franchisees have already been so generous with their time. Thanks to their support, I know I can hit the ground running.”
Get Ahead founder and franchisor Rebecca Newenham is thrilled that Hazel has chosen to join the franchise. “Hazel has worked in a wide range of sectors and some high-profile global roles. She has an excellent track record of driving businesses forward, as well as an understanding of how smaller organisations work. She can relate to many of our client’s opportunities and challenges and is clearly passionate about how outsourcing to the right people can help companies succeed.
I am confident that Hazel will flourish with her Get Ahead franchise, and I look forward to helping her make her regional business a success. With franchisees in Berkshire, Bournemouth, Christchurch & Poole, East Midlands, Essex, Harrogate, Kent, Leeds, North Hampshire, Oxford, Southampton, Suffolk, Surrey, West London, and York, we are well-placed to support growing businesses.”
Get Ahead offers nationwide business support services, enabling companies of all sizes and sectors to get ahead. From bookkeeping to blogging, database management to design, social media to sales strategy and telephone answering to translation, their team of over 80 highly skilled virtual business experts delivers support on an hourly, project or ongoing basis.
