I've been in insurance since my early 20's when I took my first call centre job and like most, I've held a variety of roles since then; from Team Leader to Real Time Analyst, Planning Analyst, Functional Analyst and now Supply Chain Manager. I enjoy the different challenges that managing our Supply Chain presents, from speaking to new potential suppliers for Category Planning to the day to day Performance management of our Fulfilment Suppliers. A key part of my role is forging relationships with Suppliers and driving performance improvements alongside Procurement, contract and negotiation activity to source new suppliers, both aspects of my role which I relish.Alongside this I have completed an apprenticeship, achieving my Level 4 Diploma from CIPS. This has been invaluable to gain knowledge outside of insurance Supply Chains and across different industries and sectors.Outside of work, I live with my husband, son and delightful little dog and can regularly be found at the stables on a weekend, spending time with the horses and riding.
