MANAGING DIRECTOR, MTA GROUP
Julie Holdsworth
Managing Director, MTA Group
As Managing Director Julie’s role has changed from the early days following founding the original business in 2009.
With an extensive team she is dedicated to developing the ongoing excellent service offered to our students and clients at MTA Group both in Mallorca and the Costa del Sol.
Julie oversees and manages the overall educational delivery, HR, customer service and strategy of the group.
Julie started her training and mentoring career teaching adults in disciplines such as tax, marketing, business and customer services. She says ‘Looking back I don’t know what made me switch from my childhood dream of being a teacher, but I went into banking when I had finished my formal education. After a few years I was offered the opportunity to join training and development and of course I jumped at the chance.’ Having gained a series of training and coaching qualifications, extensive experience together with a desire to always add value she branched out on her own and set up her own training and project management consultancy. Very quickly she was working all over the UK and abroad.
As a parent herself, Julie fully understands the difficult decisions parents have to make re their children’s education; particularly when relocating, where there are so many choices. She says ‘we have so many parents who come to us for support when making their decision. I feel that an important part of my role is to support them to make their transition easier.’
Having moved to Mallorca with her daughter Grace, then aged six, it was time to decide the best way forward for her education. It was facing the dilemma for Grace’s education that gave her the seed of an idea; to build an exceptional tutoring support for her daughter and other students on the island. Her passion for change and making a difference in education has led to where MTA is today. Julie remains passionate to this day about the MTA group and believes the relationship with students and parents is paramount to our success.
She assures you that by working together with the team, parents can be confident that MTA will make a positive difference to their child’s educational journey.
