Seven years ago, I was navigating the family court system without legal representation. Rebecca was my lifeline during one of the most challenging periods of my life – the one consistent source of support who, through both her compassion and expertise, helped me survive what felt completely overwhelming and achieve the best possible outcome for my family.
I’ve watched Rebecca – now a close friend for over a decade – build something extraordinary. When she launched Brighter Future Mediation, combining professional expertise with deeply personal understanding of family conflict, I knew this would be special.
My own experience told me this was a concept to believe in, and I watched the execution unfold. From witnessing Rebecca learning to build a website around her full-time job at the time and juggling being a parent to growing a team that has supported 142 families in the first 12 months, 1011% growth (Q1-Q4) and maintained 5-star customer satisfaction. This is real, measurable impact, fuelled by a clear vision and impressive business acumen.
As Strategy and Transformation Director at DSS Global Services, I champion revenue growth and investment prioritisation, ensuring organisational change is executed in alignment with business strategy. With a foundation in management consulting from KPMG, I’ve spent 15 years driving commercial and operational transformation across services organisations including TMF, Arriva Group, and DS Smith- defining strategic roadmaps, driving operational excellence, and delivering sustainable growth.
When I saw the potential in what Rebecca was building, I offered to invest. This opportunity delivers significant financial returns with 50% SEIS tax relief while backing a business scaling to become the UK’s leading mediation provider- a transformative service that is desperately needed and can make a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Some investments are purely financial. This one is deeply personal, professionally compelling, and backed by remarkable traction.
