• 1 - 100 Employee

• Account Manager

  • Jan 2014 - Present

  With all of the experience I gained from my last roles, I was offered the chance to be an account manager.This role has taught me even more about Tower Leasing, managing the relationships we have with our lenders, our clients and the businesses we help on a daily basis, all the while making a profit for the company.I have also, as Tower Leasing has been growing and are able to offer more than just lease rental agreements, been able to learn about the different types of finance products available, which can benefit all businesses in the UK and abroad.

• Tele-Sales

  • Jan 2009 - Dec 2013

  This was my first venture into a sales role and I was grateful for the opportunity.Just like most tele-sales employees, my main focus was making a set number of calls a day, generating interest from equipment suppliers who could benefit from our service, sending finance offering to these potential clients, arranging meetings for my colleagues in sales and where possible writing a deal from initial quotation to our clients being paid out.Being in this role, I had to be more efficient as there was much to do; it was not just calling customers and learning how to organise my workload has greatly benefited me in my future roles.I enjoyed my time in tele-sales, as again, I was able to learn more about Tower Leasing, the ups and downs of sales, and how to negotiate with clients and lenders, though the highlight of this role was speaking to a variety of clients from sole traders to CEO’s, bringing them across from our competitors and still working with them to this day.After 5 years, with the last two years of this role solely working for my Directors, I was given my next opportunity at Tower Leasing.

• Administrator

  • Jun 2008 - Dec 2009

  My new role put me in the Pay-Out administration team and our main focus was to make sure our customers (business equipment suppliers) were paid for the work they have done, whilst ensuring the end users, who are also our clients, were happy to enter into the finance agreement.To achieve the above, I had to check all the signed paperwork for these agreements making sure they were correct, if they were not, issuing new paperwork to end users and ensuring they were returned in a timely fashion. As part of this role, I had to liaise with a number of specialised asset finance lenders to make sure we were being paid for the finance agreements brokered with them and where possible, improve our earning potential for Tower Leasing and a better finance package for the end user.This role taught me more about Tower Leasing, the industry I was working in, it helped build relationships with business equipment suppliers, end users and lenders. It also taught me how to work smarter, not harder.After a year and a half in this role, the senior management team at Tower Leasing told me I talked too much and this led me onto my next role.

• Receptionist

  • Dec 2006 - Jun 2008

  After six years in the retail sector, stacking various products (fruit & veg, DVD’s and books) on shelves, I wanted to work in a different industry and to achieve this, I knew I had to start at the very bottom of the ladder so I could work my way up and this is how I started my career at Tower Leasing.As you would expect from an entry role in an office, I had to take care of the smaller jobs: answering phones, greeting clients that came to our office, making tea/coffee, collecting the post, making sure the finance agreements that we brokered were posted and I did not mind doing this, it was far better than stacking shelves and it afforded me the opportunity to learn more about the business I worked for.I did this role for over a year and half until I was promoted to my next role within Tower Leasing.
