About Me

Hi, I’m Joanne,

I am just like you. I was a busy mum of 4 who learned the hard way how to juggle work while raising young children. I wish I’d asked for help earlier when starting my Virtual Business Management business.

Knowing how hard the struggle can be was my inspiration behind starting Bravapro. I wanted a business that would not only help me maintain a positive work-life balance, but also help other small business owners struggling to fit everything into their day.

My Background

I have had an eclectic and exciting working background, with my first job after leaving school being as a nuclear scientist – a highly-charged environment where getting things wrong was not an option.

My career then took a corporate turn where I worked in HR, data analysis, customer service and then as an account manager for an international relocation company with responsibility for a £3million+ portfolio.

During this time, I developed a passion for systems, processes and data.

My nerdiness is key to my Virtual Business Management services helping your business.

Testimonials

Paula - My White Dog

Joanne is quite simply a ‘super star’ she is responsive, proactive, enthusiastic and creative. I felt that I could explore any business admin and process challenges with her, highly recommended for any busy team.

Luke - Swindon Tuition Centre

I’ve been working with Joanne with the focus of tightening up and streamlining our current admin set up as we plan to scale up the business. She has been a great communicator and very approachable to all members of the team. All emails are responded thoroughly and promptly. She is also very strategic, having the relevant experience to oversee how we could work more economically and giving graphics, new admin tools, and tutorials to highlight processes and help visualise what we’re looking to do.

Kiki - Kiki Kirby Coaching

We love using Bravapro, (Jo) for support with report writing, processes with our documents and collating information. She has helped us massively in our coaching and consultancy business with formatting information in a way that is professional, clear and concise. I love working with Jo she is extremely professional, creative and her approach is so simple. Very often our deadlines require things to be turned around quickly and Jo makes it always happen. THANK YOU.. Highly recommend

Charlotte - Popple Services

What Joanne doesn’t know about CRM systems isn’t needed. I asked her to help me set up a CRM with my frankly inadequate excel spreadsheet, and she did it perfectly, and has given me training on how to use it! She is efficient, quick and does the job asked. Would happily work with her again!

Michelle - Mind Harmony

I’ve recently acquired the services of Bravapro to help with streamlining my business admin, social media production and generally taking pressure off me where she can.

I’m a super organised person but Joanne is helping me take it to a whole new level! Thank You!

Yolande - Peak – Ryzex

Joanne is the one I would choose for my team hands down, time after time. She is incredibly reliable and always willing to go the extra mile for her clients. She is the one who will take on the task that others shy away from and nail it completely – with style and modesty. Joanne understands the value of proactivity and simply delivers the goods – time after time.
