I assumed the position of Operations Manager, providing comprehensive HR, operational and administrative support across the business including key support to Senior Managers and Directors. During my tenure I managed a team of 4 Administrators in the effective delivery of this support across multiple locations. I also provided dedicated support to the Managing Director in the delivery of company strategies, action plans and targets in line with the company vision, mission and key objectives.
I was promoted to Senior Administrator and given the additional responsibility for recruiting, training and managing a team of Administrators to take on an increased work-load due to significant business growth.
