Your business is rocking, you’re in your groove, and then bam! 💥 The pandemic hits and one of your sources of income comes to a halt overnight. What do you do? Well, if you’re Mel Cant – stuck in a scenario that has become all too familiar to many in this past year – you take the bull by the horns and you do the mother of all pivots… with a little help from TechPixies, of course.
Having provided face-to-face training in social housing law to local authorities and housing associations for the past 15 years, Mel is an angel to those who find themselves in the devastating position of not having a roof over their head. What she doesn’t know about social housing law can probably fit on the head of a pin, but when it came to moving her training online and upskilling in social media she knew she needed a helping hand. Step in TechPixies and a little sprinkle of Social Media Magic. 🧚
