My journey began in 2009, I was at a career crossroads and in discussion with a company specialising in fire safety; however, I had doubts as to whether it would be the right fit for me. An interview invite for Astore appeared (situated a mere 5-minute walk from my house at the time, perfect!) So, I met for the first time with Dave Edge, and my career within the world of plastic pipework commenced. I learned a lot within those first few years at Astore, then Durapipe and subsequently Aliaxis.
Due to my experience and can do attitude, I was selected to join a new team – Aftercare. Focusing on helping customers with any issues, and offering assistance where required. I was always first to put myself forward for any new challenges or projects, from mentoring new team members to assisting the implementation of new processes and systems.
I felt as though I had achieved everything I possibly could, and was contemplating my future, when I had a chance conversation with Dave again (this time of B&D Plastics ltd) The timing couldn’t have been more perfect.
I was ready for a new challenge and with the success and growth of B&D coinciding It became a natural career progression to join the team as an Internal Sales Administrator. My main objectives have been to build and maintain strong relationships with clients, aid stock monitoring and control, and proactively liaise with suppliers to ensure we maintain our, ‘first in class service offering’ to our valued customers.
I have loved my first 6 months and look forward to what the future holds.
