We’re proud to welcome Maarten Jonckers as Senior Business Partner for Thames Valley West, where he will be working alongside David Abbott to enhance the support available to local business owners.

Maarten’s appointment ensures that ambitious business owners in the area can access high-quality business support services locally.
We’re equally thrilled to welcome Sandra Tinker, who is launching and growing the TAB community across Cheshire.

At TAB, we know that strong businesses are built by strong leaders — and strong leaders thrive when surrounded by the right support network.
