“I am very much looking forward to working with Paul, our senior leaders and wider team to bring our new business plan to life – it’s ambitous, adventourous, and really epitomises who we are as a value-led, growing agency. My job is ensuring the business is ready for it’s next stage of development and I can not wait to lead the next episode of the Agent journey.”

Paul Corcoran, CEO & founder of Agent, said: “For every growing business, it is essential to have trusted, respected, and forward-looking leaders who embody the core values of the organisation. Good business and sustained success really comes down to having great people on your team – Jeanette epitomises that for us.

“Jeanette consistently demonstrates our values in her actions, and I have full confidence in her ability to take us to new heights, leading us through this exciting new growth chapter whilst putting her uniqiue stamp on what we do, and how we do it.

“Her promotion is a testament to her dedication, strategic thinking and exceptional leadership skills. I can’t wait to see the brilliant things she will accomplish in her new role.”

She will be joining forces with over 200 influential female leaders from across the North West, to champion and celebrate gender equity and equality in the workplace.
