Meet the team


  • CEO

    With 27 years of experience in Further Education, I have established a reputation as a dedicated and passionate educator in the field of Beauty Therapy. As Lead Internal Quality Assurer (IQA) for the Hair and Beauty department, I have developed a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, ensuring the highest standards of teaching and learning.

    In addition to my extensive experience in Beauty Therapy, I have developed my skills as an Aesthetic Practitioner over several years, bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the industry. With a proven track record of driving quality and innovation, I am a valuable asset to any educational institution.

    Currently serving as the CEO of IQA Angels Ltd, I continue to leverage my expertise to drive business growth and excellence. I hold a CMI Diploma in Management and leadership, a nationally recognised qualification that has equipped me with essential management skills, enabling me to pursue roles like Operations Manager, Project Manager, or Team Leader. This qualification is highly regarded by employers, showcasing my commitment to professional development and effective management. 

    Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a passion for empowering people to achieve their full potential and have a strong commitment to delivering high-quality education and training. With expertise spanning Beauty Therapy, IQA, Aesthetics, business leadership, CMI-accredited management and Leadership qualifications, I am well- equipped to provide expert guidance and support to clients and centres alike. 


  • Director

    A highly experienced and dedicated professional in the Beauty and Aesthetics industry, qualified in Beauty Therapy since 1990. With a strong foundation in spa services and beauty retail - including account management - I transitioned into education in 2000, gaining qualifications in Teaching, Assessing, and Internal Quality Assurance (IQA).

    Over the past 25 years, I have taught a wide range of subjects including Beauty Therapy, Holistic Therapies, and Aesthetic Treatments across various levels. I have extensive experience as a Lead IQA within a Further Education College, where I successfully managed quality assurance processes for over 300 learners, ensuring compliance and high standards across all programmes.

    Currently, I serve as a Director at IQA Angels, where I continue to uphold and promote excellence in education, training, and assessment within the beauty and aesthetics sector.

    I am experienced in preparing Training Centre's for Centre Approval with a number of awarding bodies  including Qualifi, ProQual Lab, VTCT, City and Guilds, ITEC and Focus.

  • Testimonials

    Sisu'Amor Beauty and Aesthetics academy

    “IQA Angels have been absolutely amazing in supporting us from the very start of our journey as a centre. They guided us seamlessly through our initial application and centre approval with Qualifi and have continued to support us with assessment, internal quality assurance, and arranging IQA teams and meetings. Their knowledge and business guidance has been invaluable, always delivered in a clear and reassuring way.

    What truly sets them apart is their warmth, approachability, and constant support. Angela, in particular, has been an incredible source of guidance and at times when the process has felt overwhelming or stressful, her calm reassurance and expertise have genuinely been a lifeline. No question is ever too small, and the whole team are always responsive, reliable, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed.

    We honestly couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable, supportive, and dependable partner. IQA Angels have become an integral part of our success and I would recommend them wholeheartedly to any centre looking for a team who not only brings expertise but also truly cares!"

    The feedback and support provided have been clear, constructive, and always focused on improving quality and systems. We particularly appreciate their professional yet friendly approach, which has made collaboration smooth and effective.

    Thanks to IQA Angels, we feel confident in the robustness of our quality assurance systems, and we would not hesitate to recommend their services to other education and training providers."
