Meet the team

Meet the PTA+ team

Richard Manville, managing director

Richard started his sales career after teaching and travelling in Kenya. His skills in establishing and maintaining long-term partnerships with clients enable us to keep PTA+ free of charge to PTA members, helping them raise more funds. Richard keeps our company competitive and innovative by adapting our business strategy to meet market demands. In response to the growing number of school business managers seeking to generate extra income, he created FundEd for schools in 2016.

Sarah Everson, grants 

Sarah joined us when her youngest daughter started pre-school. Sarah thrives on variety: one minute she’s liaising with subscribers and advertisers on the magazines, the next she’s researching and compiling the FundEd grants database. Sarah contributes ideas, grants information and testimonials to the publishing team as well as compiling our termly 'latest grants' bulletins. 

Emma Griffin, account manager

Emma joined the PTA+ team in February 2019 after a fun stint helping a national charity‘s local branch with their fundraising. She has spent most of her working life in advertising and marketing agencies where she managed campaigns for many different companies. Emma looks after our suppliers as well as managing our social media channels and PTA email newsletters. She has three school-age children and is passionate about supporting schools and PTAs.
