When presented with the opportunity to work for Qualitor Automotive UK, what stood out was the chance to be involved in launching a new business in the UK.

My role included office administration, diary management, HR services, health & safety, customer account services, and financial planning for the finance board.Additionally, I was responsible for placing and overseeing new customer orders using CRM/EDI software, liaising with suppliers on behalf of our customers, preparing and submitting legal paperwork through the necessary channels and coordinating international travel for myself and colleagues.

After working for Morgan Sindall Group as Temp Receptionist for a few weeks and leaving for another role, I was offered a F/T permanent position when it became vacant and took it with both hands. As I was already familiar with the company it was easy for me to settle in and continue effectively where I left off. Working alongside the CEO and Non-Exec Board Members within the organisation has given me valuable experience in working under pressure, sensitive data/information handling, and networking and social event organisation.Facilities management was also important within this role; Health & Safety, supplier contracts, repairs & maintenance, office budgeting and supply chain administration all played a key role in my day-to-day duties. An integral part of my role was to facilitate group-wide legal administration and ensure the Group General Counsel was aware and up to date with any legal claims and that they are allocated to correct departments. As this was the Group's Head Office, we were often host to meetings with the executive board, Investors, and other senior officials, it was required of me to manage and cater to all meetings booked for the Senior Management Team and any visitors. This involved managing multiple daily bookings for six meeting spaces, arranging food and beverages, setting up I.T / audio / tech services as well as monitoring the company conference call schedules and reconciling with BT when required. Overall, I was the go-to person for staff and visitors when visiting MSG Head office.

I was employed by Ciber UK to facilitate the relocation and manage their new offices in St. James Park London. Within my role I had to project manage the set-up of the new space, this included purchasing of new furnishings, decoration and layout. Introducing new processes for the office, booking systems and suppliers was something I enjoyed. My daily routine included opening the office ahead of other staff members arrival, managing H&S, meeting room bookings and the associated hospitality services and generally overseeing the day to day operations alongside the Sales Director. The office space was utilised by consultants when they were not working on-site this often meant I could be in the office working solo or have large teams to manage and provide working spaces/ Hot desks as required. I would also manage hotel bookings and travel for the team of 20 London based consultants, this involved using an authorised travel & booking partner to manage reservations. I enjoyed my time at Ciber UK as everyday was always different, the transient nature of the business means the relationships forged between colleagues when they were at the office were highly important and it was often my role to organise team bonding and social events to ensure a healthy work/life balance.
