An experienced business support professional, I have developed a strong set of versatile skills whilst working for private, public and charitable organisations over 20 years. My main strengths lie in administration, accounting, marketing, customer service, office and project management. Having well developed communication and interpersonal skills, I can liaise at all levels and build effective relationships. Results driven, I am extremely self-motivated and can be trusted to work independently or be a positive influence on a team. I am currently the Office Manager and Accounts Assistant at PlaceFirst who are property developers with a particular interest in refurbishment and remodeling of empty homes. We work in regeneration areas to deliver affordable, energy efficient, family homes that contribute to wider neighbourhood sustainability. PlaceFirst recognise that the UK housing market has changed in recent years and have developed an institutional private rental model that can provide a high-quality alternative to owner-occupation and deliver positive change for neighbourhoods in need of regeneration.PlaceFirst work in partnership with and provide advice to public and private organisations that need help to plan and deliver complex regeneration and energy projects. Our advice is used to unlock stalled regeneration projects and to find innovative ways of funding energy investments.They also have a dedicated Heritage Team, who breathe new life into historic buildings; whether it’s an old church, a theatre, or an industrial building. This approach is based on maximising commercial growth and operational sustainability, often integrating community objectives within the plan. PlaceFirst define a robust operational model that can enhance the physical fabric of the building and ensure its long-term heritage value and, where appropriate, civic uses.
