Alison has proven to be a dedicated and reliable individual who has taken a key supporting role in the organisation of our North Region Leadership forum. This forum has been a fundamental element in helping us maintaining open communications and sharing of best practice across all our site operations. Alison’s organisational skills has been demonstrated through her direct engagement with numerous site management personnel and in making arrangements for guest speakers from our internal senior management, departmental heads, technical authorities and where identified from speakers via external businesses/organisations. In addition to her organisation of these forums Alison also attends this forum as an active participant and has taken on responsibility for managing the agenda and taking minutes as well as ensuring follow-up of any actions identified and allocated to attendees. Alison has also occasionally and successfully helped chair this forum effectively coordinating agenda items.

Alison has proved to be very efficient when co-ordinating attendance at industry events such as dinners and corporate hospitality. She has always kept close track of replies, and ensured that our company receives best value from the event organisers and venues.
