Julia Meighan

Julia Meighan, Executive Chairman of VMA Group, international resourcing specialist for corporate communications and HR, was approached to get involved in Channel 4’s How the Other Half Live as a result of her pioneering work in PR recruitment and interim management. Julia, along with her family, saw it as a real opportunity to help a single mum in relaunching her business aspirations by providing both financial and emotional support. When Julia met single mum Zofia, she and her daughter were facing eviction from their flat. Despite sending out over 150 applications Zofia was unable to find work and was paying off mounting debts. Julia was able to mentor Zofia (who had previously started her own business) back into self employment and their families have developed a lasting bond.
