Jo joined PTI Cymru in 2004 in the role of Marketing Assistant and has never left! She worked her way up through the Marketing Team to Marketing Manager and has since been promoted to Managing Director, taking more of a strategic overview across the running of the business.

Jo has always been considered the ‘customer champion’ of the business and always tries to apply a customer check to any decisions, developments and campaigns. She tries to instill this customer focus across the business.

Jo is Mum to seven-year-old twins, which keeps her very busy! But her interests in what spare time she has include holidays both abroad and to places within the UK when we are allowed, cooking healthy recipes and days out with her children.

Jo is also Chair of Trustees for child bereavement charity, 2 Wish Upon a Star based in South Wales providing support to families across Wales who lose children suddenly. This is a role she finds incredibly rewarding.
