BUSINESS Women in Business CONT. Hannah Carter THE CREATIVE DANCE COMPANY “I am lucky that I work in an industry that is a lot about relationship building, having experienced the training my students go through enables me to blend my intuition with creativity to help my schools thrive. I hope I am a role model for all my students to show that gender does not restrict us when following our dreams and expressing ourselves. Success will always follow passion and dedication. “I run The Creative Dance Company based in Cranbrook, Zenzero Performing Arts School based in Ashford, Babyballet Ashford and Folkestone and Zenzero Events. Creative Dance offers children from 4 to 18 the opportunity to attend musical theatre and dance classes every Saturday at Dulwich Prep Cranbrook, whilst Zenzero Performing Arts School offers classes from our recently renovated studio in Ashford Town Centre. “All our classes balance the importance of discipline, structure and technique with fun, enjoyment and creativity in a supportive and non-competitive environment. We invest in our students and their future, offering them performance opportunities and training that will both challenge them and allow them develop individually as performers.” The Creative Dance Company is dance and musical theatre company based in Cranbrook. www.creativedanceco.co.uk Tracy Burtwell SEARCHFLOW “For me, in over 20 years, I’ve worked in various industries in senior roles, including board-level responsibilities for multi-national firms. I’ve always operated in sales roles and as far as I’m concerned, I’ve never personally felt that being a woman has been a positive or negative factor in my career progression. Instead, I believe that results and output speak volumes, and have always instead focused on this. Coming from a sales background, I’m always working hard to deliver the best results that I can and I take great pride in making a difference where I work. “I do think that work/life balance is important, particularly for working parents – and not just mums, but dads too. Having access to flexible working has certainly become more accessible in recent years, and that is very helpful for those with a family where flexibility is needed. I’m a working parent myself, and although my kids are now slightly older, I’m quite aware of the pressures facing working parents.” SearchFlow is the market-leading provider of conveyancing search solutions.
