BASIS has expanded its workforce with the recruitment of two new employees.

Jade Prince and Tanya Kesterton join the team to take on two new roles as business development executive and head of digital learning, respectively.

Ms Prince has a background in environmental science and is FACTS qualified.

She said: “My role centres around promoting the courses, boosting membership and building the network around BASIS’ target audience.”

As part of her role, Jade wants to focus on raising awareness of the courses that BASIS offers to the younger generation.

“I am already working to develop the business through recruitment of new members, creation of new relationships and networking with other industry organisations,” she said.

Reflecting a move towards delivering more digital courses, Tanya Kesterton joins the BASIS team as head of digital learning. With a strong background in education and IT, she is looking forward to building BASIS’ digital education capability.

“I want to look at supporting the current members and work on reaching a wider audience through our digital platforms,” Ms Kesterton said.

“BASIS has a really strong vision for what they want to do and where they want to go, and I’m delighted to be part of this journey.”
