We are delighted to welcome Rhian as our Head of Communications at Stretchline. Rhian will lead across all internal and external communications, leading Stretchline forward.

We sat down with Rhian, to chat about her vision for the future of our brand.

What are your key objectives for this new role?

We are passionate about creating a business that is values-driven and focused on making a difference in the world. Our teams span globally from Honduras to Hong Kong, so how we communicate with our teams and connect them to our vision, mission and values is a key focus in my role. I’ll also be looking at how we can engage our external audiences, showcase our business, people and brands, and take our audience on a journey about who we are, what we do and how we do it.

Tell us more about your background and previous experiences…

I’ve over ten years of experience in Internal Communications and Employee Engagement, worked in various industries and two FTSE 100 companies. I’ve been lucky to work with some exceptional leaders who have given me the guidance and the tools to be great in my field. Over the years, I’ve also developed a keen eye and honed my content creation and design skills.

What do you think is the most important leadership skill?

The ability to inspire others. To articulate a vision and motivate people to work towards it. To create a sense of purpose and help others see that what they do matters and that they are part of something bigger.

What are you most looking forward to over the next few months?

I’m looking forward to better understanding how we do things around here, what works and what doesn’t and gaining a true sense of how our people feel about working for the business. Along with working on creating new and fresh, compelling content for our audiences. Ohhhh, and longer, lighter, warmer, sunnier days!

Please join us in welcoming Rhian to the Stretchline family.
