Meet the Communication and Events Committee
Jo Webb is the Chair of the ARP Communications and Events Committee and the Head of OrbiRelo. Jo is a ‘newbie’ to the relocation industry with just over a year under her belt - however, she has over 8 years of experience in the serviced apartment industries.
Jo is passionate about driving strategic growth and innovation in the relocation sector. At OrbiRelo, she leads a dynamic team, focusing on scaling business operations, strategic planning, and technology innovation. Jo’s hands-on leadership style and commercial acumen have earned her a reputation as a results-driven leader who empowers her team to achieve their fullest potential.
In her role with the ARP, Jo is committed to enhancing the relocation industry's communications and event strategies, helping to shape the future of the sector. She’s particularly focused on cultivating an environment where best practices thrive, and growth is prioritised.
Outside of work, Jo is a proud Geordie with a love for travel. When she’s not overseeing OrbiRelo's growth, you can often find her exploring new destinations with her trusty side kick Yoda (her sproker spaniel), enjoying great food, or sharing stories about her favourite comfort meal, mince and dumplings, made by her Mam.
Looking ahead, Jo is excited to contribute her expertise to the ARP, bringing fresh ideas and driving innovation in the relocation industry to help shape a more sustainable and forward-thinking future.
