    I have stepped back into a leadership role with the company I founded in 2011 after the previous incumbent departed for a well earned maternity break. We all work remotely, so I aim to grow the business in a flexible, agile way, with improved process automation for our smart, self-employed, immigration fee-earners. A company full of business minded, tech savvy, talented immigration professionals, working together as a team seems a good way to grow and prosper!
