Background

About Victoria Sharp

I started work at the tender age of 13 working in my parents’ office at the weekends – typing in hundreds of names and addresses into a database, mind numbing, but I taught myself to touch type, so when I left school at 16 I could type 70 words a minute. At 21 I started my first business, working part-time in an estate agent and part-time in my mobile make up beautician business – Soignee. I loved the industry – but not so much the application. What I could say from that very early age is that I loved setting up the business and everything that went with it – my administration skills coming to the forefront in being organised. In I won East Anglian Daily Times – Start Up Business of the Year for my secretarial and telephone answering company Kudos Services Ltd. Whilst running this, I also built up a small Property Management Company – Belvedere Property Consultants Ltd (something I always swore I would return to!). I sold both businesses to partners that had joined me. In October 2003 I joined the family Accountancy practice Avanti and have never looked back. I took my Association Of Accounting Technicians (AAT) accounts and tax qualification and we grew the company, franchised it and then sold the practice in April 20. I am now MD of Whitley Morgan. Utilising all my experience and qualification to be able to offer Business Coaching & Mentoring. Please do visit our website for more details. I am also an Officer in the Army Cadets and Foster Mum. I also enjoy keeping fit with activities such as boxing, cycling and mucky race running. I like to keep busy!
