After completing BT’s intensive training courses I was ‘live’ for less than a month before being put on furlough. I was then informed that due to their restructuring there would no longer be a position available for me to return to.

3T Group are the largest Oil, Gas and Wind training provider in the UK. I was poached from my previous role with the prospect of heading the new national sales team for a new, modular Training Management software solution that was in development. Unfortunately, after a few setbacks from the development team, the Board decided to make my team redundant.

I made the switch to GEAB Ltd. whose attitude towards customer account management was more in line with my own. They are an energetic consultancy where hard work is both encouraged and rewarded. Although my time there was short, my work ethic and willingness to assist less experienced members of the team was recognised and appreciated.Responsibilities.
