Prior to their acquisition by TG Escapes, I worked with The Stable Company as a Business Development Manager. The Stable Company were a Design & Build contractor delivering timber framed buildings across various sectors.My role here involved heading up our Education sector, the companies largest market in which I delivered significant sales growth during my tenure. My responsibilities here largely mirrored those within my current role at TG Escapes with the following additions:- Writing, submitting and managing all planning applications in which I maintained a record of 100% approval;- Producing layout drawings using Sketchup Layout;- Involvement throughout the whole project life cycle. From enquiry through to practical completion;In June '20 (the beginning of the Covid pandemic) The Stable Company entered into Voluntary Creditors Liquidation before the assets were acquired by TG Escapes. Whilst the acquisition was processed I took the opportunity to work directly with a Buckinghamshire based Independent school to deliver a new EYFS building.This opportunity provided an excellent opportunity to help this client from a tricky place (a part completed building required to be in use by the coming school term) and gain invaluable experience. This is a project I am particularly proud with the building being delivered ahead of programme and within budget.With many previous subcontactors unpaid for their work to date when this project went on hold I re-negiotated on behalf of the school to get the project back underway and whilst ensuring the client fulfilled their CDM requirements. I also maintained a regular presence on site.
