We’re passionate about helping you
grow and make an impact.
Hello! We are Tanya and Sam. We are sisters. We are former wraparound childcare providers. We created BeMore because we are passionate about helping others learn from our experience.
About You
We love working with people who have strong values. People who care about what they are doing. People who want to make a profit, but not at any cost. People who care about the people within their organisation. People who believe that when they get it right, success will follow.
About Us
Between us we have started and grown multiple businesses. As sisters, we have naturally different skill sets. In our childcare business, Sam was responsible for the majority of our large staff team, and what happened insid the club. Tanya was responsible for everything that happened outside the club, such as marketing, finance, and HR.
We are both calm, supportive, full of positivity and bursting with ideas. Sam is the person to come to when you are feeling short of inspiration, when you want the ideas to flow, when you need to feel someone is on your side. Tanya will give you an emotional boost. She is a powerful sounding board and loves the strategic side of running a business.
Whatever your challenge, problem or area of interest - at least one of us will be an expert!
Hello. I’m Sam.
I am a former primary school teacher. I opened my first holiday club because I saw an article in the press saying children were falling behind academically during the summer holidays and I thought I had the skills to change that.
It was not easy starting the business. Recruitment, marketing, finances, in fact everything, was all new to me.
Tanya joined me after a few years and we had a shared vision of growing the business and maintaining the values and ethos of the first club.
I love connecting with people and now support other small businesses, helping people reach their own and their companies full potential through mentoring, training and consultancy.
I’m a qualified adult trainer and love to deliver training in a fun and engaging way so that the content is relevant and is absorbed and implementable. I have nearly completed my Level 7 Mentoring and Coaching qualification.
The challenges I love: Helping people to solve their problems and finding solutions together that may be simple but are impactful. I am an ideas person and love joining the dots.
Hello. I’m Tanya.
My background is software marketing. It is fair to say I had not foreseen a career that involved working with children. I left my marketing career to go travelling for 5-months. Upon my return, Sam needed a bit of support with the non-club related aspects of running her business (very safely not working with the actual children!) and I have not really left the sector since joining it in 2005!
I loved (most of!) the challenges associated with growing our business. It was exciting to see how it changed and adapted over the years. I had always been interested in connecting with other providers, and after we sold our business in 2019, I set up the Club Central conference.
The Club Central conference helps providers to connect with each other, and has a strong business focus. Childcare and business and supporting people in the sector to have better business skills is one of my driving forces. And I am proud that this passion led to me being included as a one of the top 100 2024 f:entreprenuer inspiring females.
Since we sold our business I have completed an MBA and have achieved a Level 7 in Coaching and Mentoring. It is fair to say that I love business, strategy and problem solving. I am also an expert adviser to the National Wraparound Childcare Programme.
The challenges I love: I love working with people who care about their team. Who want business growth, and who feel a bit stuck. People who maybe don’t have the skills or time to move to the next stage or where their organisation feels in a bit of a rut. I enjoy looking at the underlying challenges and working out solutions.
