Get Ahead, the award-winning virtual outsourcing agency, has appointed Nicola Wolverson as its new regional director for the West Midlands. With her extensive experience in recruitment and account management, Nicola will be responsible for expanding Get Ahead’s presence across the region, supporting businesses in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Telford, and beyond.
With over 20 years of experience, Nicola brings a wealth of expertise to her new role. Her background in recruitment, coupled with her exceptional interpersonal and administrative skills, has made her well-suited to help small businesses optimise their operations with the support of Get Ahead’s team of virtual experts.
Nicola first discovered Get Ahead through LinkedIn, where the company’s flexible approach to work caught her attention. “I was looking for a new challenge and saw the Get Ahead opportunity,” she said. “I’ve always enjoyed building relationships and managing clients, so I was drawn to the idea of working with a company that has such a broad pool of skilled experts ready to support small businesses.”
One of the key factors that appealed to Nicola was the flexibility that the role offered. With young children, she was keen to find a role that would allow her to balance work with family life. “I wanted a role where I could work flexibly around my children,” she explained. “I’ve seen many remote jobs that still require office attendance several days a week, but Get Ahead offered the chance to work when and where I wanted, which was a perfect fit for me.”
As Nicola settles into her new role, she is eager to make connections with local businesses across the West Midlands. She is particularly excited to introduce the Get Connected networking events to the region. These free, informal events, already popular in the South East, offer a unique opportunity for local businesses to connect, share insights, and build relationships. “I’m excited to bring these events to Birmingham and Solihull,” Nicola said. “I believe they’ll be a great resource for businesses in the area.”
Rebecca Newenham, founder and director of Get Ahead, expressed her delight at Nicola joining the team. “Nicola’s background in recruitment and her ability to connect with people makes her a perfect fit for our company,” said Rebecca. “She is organised, structured, and has a real talent for juggling multiple clients and projects simultaneously. We’re confident she will thrive in her new role, and we’re looking forward to supporting her growth as she helps businesses across the West Midlands.”
