Cathy Van Rooyen

Head of Paid Social

Joining the busy social media and account management team in February 2022, Cathy has plenty of great experience for the role, having completed an Advanced Digital Marketing Course in 2014 and studying photography in 2015, inspired to capture her show jumper daughter in action.

She has managed social media accounts and digital marketing for SMEs throughout her working life, and, prior to Covid lockdown restrictions, worked as General Manager for The Frenchman Group, where she managed the three startup companies within the group.

As well as the above, she is an advanced first aider and a certified Occupational Health & Safety Officer – so you’re in safe hands when Cathy’s around!

Despite not seeing eye-to-eye with the cold weather one bit, Switzerland remains right at the top of her dream destinations bucket list, while away from work she enjoys any activity that gets her adrenaline pumping – ranging from bungy jumping to racing cars. However, equally up her alley is a quiet night in, with good food, wine and a movie or comedy show.

On her dislikes list, though, are flying cockroaches and Huntsman spiders, having had way too many close encounters with them in the past.
