Tangerine Bolsters Senior Team with Two Strategic Hires

Following a phenomenal 2021, employee-owned creative communications agency, Tangerine, has added two new senior team members to its ranks. Rebekah Van Oldenbeek and Alison Parker join the award-winning agency as Head of People & Performance and Operations Manager respectively.

The new appointments come following a record-breaking 2021 for the Manchester-based agency, with the business surpassing £5m in revenue.

New Head of People & Performance, Rebekah Van Oldenbeek, joins Tangerine from restaurant and bar group, The Alchemist, where she was HR Business Partner. Rebekah heads up the newly formed People and Performance department, which will be responsible for developing Tangerine’s Employee Value Proposition, and ensuring it maintains its position as a leading destination for the best talent in the communications industry.

Meanwhile Alison Parker, who was previously Studio Manager at Equator Design, is tasked with supporting the continued development of Tangerine’s award-winning creative offering. With the creative team doubling in size over the last year and winning a number of awards, including several for the ‘It’s Coming Home’ Euros campaign with Specsavers, Tangerine’s creative offering remains central to continued growth plans.

Sam Gregory, Joint CEO of Tangerine, said: “As we celebrate a record-breaking turnover, it’s important that our structure reflects and supports the size and complexity of business we have become. Rebekah and Alison have fantastic credentials and are exactly the type of top talent we want to bring into our team to support our ambitious growth plans.”

Rebekah Van Oldenbeek, Head of People & Performance, added: “At Tangerine, the main focus is always the people behind the innovative and creative work. The agency landscape is fast changing and what industry professionals want and look for in their career is evolving. It’s exciting to join an organisation like Tangerine, that is dedicated to being a great place to work. The low staff turnover and track-record of progression from within speaks for themselves. I’m looking forward to working closely with the senior team to ensure we maintain that position as we grow, while also negotiating a time of significant change within the industry.”
