Gregory welcomed the appointment saying “We are so happy to have Sarah join the team. She’s kind, incredibly well respected, a great mum with her priorities and values in order and is fiercely good at what she does. Hard work and discipline are a given to be great in this industry, but it’s the strength in character and core values that will continue to build the business at Mother Artists – and I for one am looking forward to learning from Sarah and supporting our clients in the best way we can.”
Commenting on her new role, Besnard said: “I feel incredibly fortunate to be joining the team at Mother Artists. The agency stands out for its commitment to supporting parents, women and people that want to navigate their careers and personal lives. This mission resonates deeply with me, especially after taking time to focus on being a new mum.
