I took over the full management of the family property portfolio after our most profitable property became vacant and failed to rent.I project managed the full refurbishment of this property, transforming it from a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO), into a single-let, family home. This was tenanted within weeks of being put on the market.Since the first refurbishment, I have completed four more after that.In project managing these refurbishments, I had to assess what work needed doing and budget the funds and resources required to take to take the property to completion.I planned all construction operations, organised tradesmen, and scheduled intermediate phases to ensure that deadlines were met.I ensured that these properties met the health and safety standards and adhered to the legal requirements.I was involved in a financial dispute with our business partner. In order to mutually resolve this, I carried out a comprehensive financial audit on 4 years of property accounts and had several meetings to deal with the disagreement and settle the differences.I dealt with the court system and successfully evicted some difficult tenants. This was a long, painstaking process which I eventually won by regaining possession of the property. Sadly, this property required significant refurbishment work upon repossession – something that I project managed from start to finish.Finally, prior to my managing the portfolio, there were no systems in place for the day-to-day running and management of the business. I implemented and further optimised these systems to ensure these tasks ran effectively and efficiently.

House Hunt is a Letting Agent, Property Management Company and Estate Agent for student properties.In this role, I joined a team of fellow Lettings Negotiators in which I had 4 primary tasks:1. To enrol new landlord clients for our “Tenant Finding Service” or “Full Management Service”,2. To find responsible tenants for our landlords,3. To manage the properties on behalf of our landlords and provide a headache-free service in which they didn’t have to worry about their properties,4. To ensure that our tenants enjoyed living in the homes that we provided them.To achieve this, I visited the properties of prospective landlords and produced valuations, provided an outline of our service, and answered any questions that they had, in a bid to convert them into clients.For our more hands-on landlords who wanted to be involved in the management process as opposed to letting us take care of everything, I worked with them to provide them with the assurance that their investments were being taken care of.I conducted viewings and liaised with tenants and their guarantors to agree lets. This would often lead to me mediating negotiations about rent and amenities between tenants and landlords.I worked with tradesmen to manage and organise maintenance work on our landlords’ properties.I managed deposit disputes between tenants and landlords to mediate a fair and just outcome.I worked behind the scenes and kept on top of any changes to rental legislation and ensured that our landlords were kept up-to-date and remained compliant with the law.Furthermore, with Lettings being such a competitive industry – as it is often the case that you have rival agents on the same street as you – this was the case for us at House Hunt, keeping one step ahead of the competition was key. With such choice and convenience available to our prospective landlords and tenants, we had to ensure that our customer service was second to none, as one mistake could cost us the client.

In this role, I was the Assistant Store Manager of a 24-hour convenience store. I was responsible for:- Fielding customer requests and resolving any complaints that they had.- Stock and Inventory Management – I was responsible for stocktaking, stock control, placing orders, receiving deliveries, and ensuring that we optimised our inventory.- Reporting and Analysis – I produced weekly Sales and Analytical reports, reviewed them, and used this information to determine how best to optimise our limited shelf space, all while ensuring that our shelves stocked profitable products, whilst also meeting the needs of our customers.- Cash Management – With employee safety being a priority - especially in a gun wielding state - it was important that the cash registers were not overfilled. In turn, I continuously managed the amount of cash in the registers and all the safes in the store.- Maintaining Standards – With the customer experience being paramount, I worked with our employees to maintain the store’s image with high standards of cleanliness and organisation at all times.- I mediated and resolved disputes that took place between employees, or even between employees and our customers.

After spending a year in server deployment, I specialised in deployment of Disaster Recovery solutions. In doing so we streamlined the delivery of our solutions and enhanced the service our clients received.This role saw me ensuring the protection of our clients’ valuable data should disaster strike.In my previous position, I merely dabbled in the backup technologies of:- Bacula,- System Centre Data Protection Manager (DPM),- Simpana Commvault,… but in this role, my involvement with disaster recovery systems greatly increased.Furthermore, given this growing area of specialism, I worked with some of UKFast’s largest clients – our Enterprise and Platinum clients: These organisations had larger and more complex IT solutions.And finally, my becoming a specialist in this field led to me training new members of the team, both in Disaster Recovery and Server Deployment: this is something that I found to be incredibly rewarding.

In this role I worked as part of a multifaceted team in which I liaised both with our commercial, client-facing team members, while also working closely with our technical team members, some of which were not client facing.Our commercial team included the Sales Team and the Account Managers.For the former, I worked with our Sales team to provide our new clients with an excellent onboarding experience, in which I delivered their server solutions on time and to specification.For the latter, I worked with our Account Managers to provide our existing clients with either new servers solutions or upgraded products. As their businesses grew, I scaled their hosting in tandem.Our technical, non-client-facing team members included our Data Centre and Network Engineers. I worked with them to plan and organise the physical build and the bringing online of our client’s servers prior to deployment and delivery.Server solutions I would deploy and deliver included:- Windows Servers – IIS, AD DS, MSSQL, Lync, Print Servers & Clusters- Linux Servers – CentOS, cPanel & Plesk- Hypervisors & Virtual Machines – Hyper-V, VMware ESX/ESXi, vSphere & vCenter- Backup / Disaster Recovery Solutions – Bacula, DPM & Simpana Commvault

I started out at UKFast as an IT apprentice, however with me being a graduate, it turned out that I was unable to actually do the apprenticeship. All was not lost however, due to my work ethic on the introductory modules and willingness to learn, I was given the role of a Junior Windows Engineer in which I learnt on the job.- I worked directly with our clients to provide technical support and excellent customer service for issues related to server hosting.- I worked with a broad range of technologies, including but not limited to: Windows Server, VMWare, Hyper-V, Plesk and cPanel.- I investigating backup issues with Bacula, DPM and CommVault.- And finally, in addition to fixing our clients' problems, my aim with client interaction was to have them feel like they were in safe hands and that the issue that they were experiencing would be resolved in a timely manner, so that they could get back to running their business.
