Jennifer L Duran of Maidenhead

I am a MD at Parkside Health & Cosmetics Ltd, a leading provider of high-quality cosmetic and wellness services in the UK. I have over 10 years of experience in the private healthcare sector, with a strong background in economics and public health. My core competencies include social networking, new business development, and public health advocacy.

​

As the MD, I oversee the strategic direction, operations, and growth of the company, which has expanded to four locations since I joined in February 2021. I am responsible for building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders, such as investors, suppliers, regulators, and media. I also lead the development and implementation of new products and services, such as our online platform, our wellness programs, and our bespoke cosmetic solutions. I leverage my skills in social networking and new business development to identify and pursue new opportunities and markets, and to increase our brand awareness and reputation. I also use my expertise in public health to ensure that our services are safe, effective, and ethical, and that we adhere to the highest standards of quality and compliance. I am the originator of the IPVP movement, which stands for Integrated Primary and Private Care Provision, a concept that aims to bridge the gap between private primary care and NHS secondary care.

If you've got this far reading the above, then I will tell you a little secret. 
I was bullied, emotionally and physically out of the company I founded, this has definitely had a profound impact on my attitude to work. I feel  a little wiser and possibly a tad more observant. But, overall I know I have become a better version of myself, less judgemental, less accepting of dogma, more open to  new ideas and keen for adventure. Always looking out for exciting opportunities - if you know of any, send them my way!
