• Customer Service Executive

  This was a new challenge in which I was dealing direct with the customers and working more closely with all departments in the business. Using the Tharstern MIS system I was responsible for looking after projects from concept to completion producing estimates, creating works instruction tickets, scheduling outwork with suppliers and purchasing of materials. Within 3 months of moving into this position I was solely looking after a number of key accounts and relished working with clients and suppliers to solve problems and ensure the jobs were completed efficiently and to the standards expected.
