Bio
Tracey Gillies
I have known Dimple since 2013 when she joined my team as a Senior Programme and Project Management Specialist. Dimple took responsibility for managing many of the College of Policing's significant national change programmes, including the Integrity Programme which resulted in the successful launch of the national police Code of Ethics in April 2014. Dimple is highly professional, and consistently adheres to own her high standards and values - in particular integrity. She values the strength of collaborative team engagement and working to a common goal. She has strong communication skills - and at the College of Policing was highly regarded by her team, her peers and by a wide range of stakeholders including senior leaders. As an example the Chief Executive Officer/Chief Constable regularly sought Dimple's advice and support in relation to the high profile programmes she worked on. Dimple takes her responsibilities very seriously and has consistently delivered within ambitious timescales at any cost; she regularly worked over and above the call of duty to get the job done. Dimple is mature in her approach to her tasks, and indeed to life in general. She is stalwart in supporting her colleagues, family and friends who regularly rely on Dimple's strength of character and mature approach to address and resolve issues. Dimple is one of the most professional, diligent, charismatic and trustworthy individuals I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate in recommending Dimple. Any organisation would be much the richer for having her on board.
