About
Hi, I'm Sarah
SARAH JONES
FOUNDER, THRIVE COMMERCIAL
The person behind Thrive Commercial
I set up Thrive Commercial to give hotels and small businesses access to the kind of commercial expertise that usually only bigger companies can afford. My background is in hotels and hospitality, working across sales, revenue and account management, and I've seen first-hand how the right strategy and a confident team can transform a business.
Today I work with hotels and small businesses across the UK. I'm based in Norwich, and I work remotely or in person, whichever suits you and your business best.
My Journey
I've spent nearly 30 years doing what I love: helping businesses grow. My journey started at just 15 in the hotel industry, where I spent 15 years climbing the ranks to General Manager, before spending the next 15 mastering sales, revenue, marketing and business development.
Along the way, brilliant mentors and world-class training with Best Western and Mercure/Accor instilled in me the high standards and drive I bring to work every day.
Venturing into estate agency and SaaS sales expanded my toolkit even further, teaching me how to adapt to fast-paced environments and deeply understand what different customers need. Now, I can't wait to share everything I've learned to help you and your business thrive.
