Operational Team

Jo Kenyon - Administration Officer
My name is Jo (well, Joanne - but only when I am being told off!). I am a mum to 3 grown children and a proud nan to 4 beautiful grandchildren.

I have had a varied work life. I worked for 13 years as a Senior Business Product Manager, managing accounts such as Microsoft and McAfee. This was a purchasing role, which involved me traveling quite often, mainly to Dublin as this is where most large suppliers such as Microsoft were based.

After my 3rd child was born, I changed my work life. I worked in retail and then catering to work around my children and the school run. As my children are all now adults, I’ve returned back to office working as I’d previously worked in administration for a finance company which predominately involved dealing with debt paperwork, and also working at a building society.

Working for REACH still gives me the family work-life balance, but also the job satisfaction, in knowing what I am doing is helping others.

Cornwall is my both my haven and my happy place, so we spend as much time as possible down there. It’s my place to go and just switch off and wander in both the beauty and peacefulness, watch the waves… Oh and sample a few pasties! It’s a place for us, my children and my grandchildren to make memories. Nothing is more important than family.
