Every team you need to make it happen..
It’s always nice to know a little more about someone before you start working with them.
Our impressive team has over 50 years combined experience working with MOMENTUM clients and almost 200 years combined experience across the board. I’m sure you’ll agree that’s pretty amazing!
Here's a little more about us;
MIKKI HARRIS
Founder & Managing Director
Hi, I’m Mikki Harris, Founder and Managing Director. I started my career in 1999, working for small local businesses in various admin and supporting roles. Moving into the world of large corporates in 2003, I honed my skills in a number of back office roles. These included training, projects, research and management. I launched MOMENTUM Business Support in 2013 after working with a number of small businesses and realising there was a demand for them to have access to the same level of support and expertise as larger companies – just with more flexibility!
Growing and developing my company is where I absolutely love spending my time. But when I’m not, you’ll find me swimming, walking in the countryside or socialising and spending quality time with friends and family.
KRISTINA GANDER
Admin, PA & Accounts Guru
Hi, I’m Kristina Gander. I have worked in various administrative roles throughout my career, including secretarial, account management and office administration, where I was always praised for my first-class customer service and organisational skills. For a few years, I took some time out to have my 2 sons - who kept me very busy and allowed me to utilise my organisational skills! I then re-trained and started working for MOMENTUM in June 2017. I love working for a company that offers the flexibility to enable me a good work/life balance.
No two days are ever the same - I enjoy the varied work and learning new systems! In my down-time I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, running and paddle boarding.
