I then took over as Office manager and would report to the owner on a daily basis taking charge of a range of departments including business development, fiance including payroll, day to day operations, purchase & sales ledger and marketing. I oversaw the company during a period in which the business grew threefold mainly due to the acquisition of a number of contacts when a local rival went into liquidation. I also worked on a business plan for a bio-mass plant but due to the business size this was not developed. During my time at Budget Skips I was awarded a number of contacts with both local house builders and national companies including Shropshire Homes, Paveaways and the refurbishment of Tesco & Barclays banks throughout Shropshire. I left my role for career development reasons and to experience a new and completely different business sector. Show less
