Summary

Throughout my career, I have successfully progressed through multiple business functions including Finance, Credit Control, Human Resources, Payroll Administration, Health & Safety, Marketing, Exhibition Coordination, Executive Administration and Office Operations.

Recognised as a dependable and adaptable professional, I have consistently taken on additional responsibilities outside my core role while supporting senior management and collaborating closely with the international Head Office in Spain.

Known for strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities, I thrive in fast-paced environments where initiative, problem-solving and effective communication are essential. I am passionate about continuous learning and enjoy contributing across multiple departments to improve business processes, strengthen team performance and support organisational success.
