Victoria Branch, the former Premier Training International global marketing director, has left the company to start up her own consultancy – VB Marketing.

Branch, who is a Certified Practicing Marketer and holds a Bachelor of Business (Marketing), has been working as a specialist within leisure since 2001. She headed up the marketing division for One Life before joining Premier in 2010.

“It’s every marketer's dream to break away and set up their own business at some point in their career and with my achievements and network behind me, the time was right to launch my business,” said Branch.

The new business specialises in supporting businesses that require an overhaul of their marketing strategy, project management and implementation, as well as social media. Branch is targeting health club operators, equipment providers and software suppliers, with several clients already on the books.
