Our team

The people who steer Flow
Bheki Shongwe is the chairman of Flow Communications

Bheki Shongwe

Chairman

Bheki is Flow’s mentor, father figure and moral compass. He has been chairman of Flow Communications since 2008 and his astute guidance has been invaluable to the growth of the company. His 30+ years of business experience in finance, marketing, sales and general management have held Flow in good stead, and provided a solid foundation from which the company has flourished.

Tara Turkington is the CEO of Flow Communications

Tara Turkington

CEO

Without Tara, there’d be no Flow – it was hers before it was ours. Given form in a spare bedroom in her house many years ago, it has grown from a two-person operation into one of South Africa’s largest and most prestigious communications companies. This happened under Tara’s watch, with the help of Tiffany and Bheki. Tara is an expert in social media, communications and content.

Tiffany Turkington-Palmer is the managing director of Flow Communications

Tiffany Turkington-Palmer

Managing director

Tiffany is Flow’s managing director. She runs the company (along with Tara), handles client relations and new work opportunities, trouble-shoots, project-manages, galvanises the troops, pours tequila and laughs a lot (not necessarily at the same time). Oh, and she’s won awards and stuff. And, most importantly, she’s a mom.

Richard Frank is Flow’s CTO
