Facilitators of this engaging workshop are:
Victoria Tomlinson
A former director of EY in London, Victoria founded Next-Up in 2018 – which evolved from the award-winning Northern Lights consultancy, which Victoria set up in 1990.
Victoria has taken the business through every stage of a consultancy evolution including working with large numbers of associates to deliver major campaigns; moving into entirely new markets several times – especially as the recession hit – and changing the model of winning business from networking to selling. In that time she has had to reinvent her personal brand to fit the business need and build a profile to win business.
Rick Firth
Rick is a seasoned senior executive with a track record of successfully fixing, developing, and growing commercial education and training organisations in the UK and internationally. He has held senior roles in organisations such as Pearson, AQA and at Abu Dhabi University.
He has taken this experience and repackaged his skills to become a consultant to the education sector, using existing networks to win business.
