Message from Gwen

Thank you, and hello!

I would like to thank all of you for the hundreds of lovely messages you have sent over the last few days. Caroline has been very touched by the messages of support you sent and apologies if can’t get back to all of you individually; there are a lot of messages, but rest assured they have been received.

I would also like to thank you all for your warm welcome and supportive messages. I am quite excited to be taking the SVA forward, and I look forward to working with all of you to ensure the VA industry goes from strength to strength.

Please do bear with me as I get to grips with everything. If you have applied to become a Community Member, Approved SVA Member or Approved Trainer, please be patient – I am working through them and will get to you shortly.

The UK VA Survey will go out as usual towards the end of April, and if you have any questions that you would like to submit for that, then please do get in touch on [email protected]

So, here is to an exciting future for the UK VA Industry and I can’t wait to get to know you all and support the UK VA Industry as a whole going forward.

Gwen Backhouse
