Bio
Chris M.
Grace is a very efficient, dedicated, highly knowledgeable individual who will go out of her way to ensure the job in hand is completed to a high standard. In order to perform more effectively Grace is not afraid to learn new processes, procedures and software. She is self motivated, enthusiastic and organised in everything she performs. Grace speaks English to a very high standard and has excellent language skills which proved to be a significant advantage when liaising with foreign suppliers; important decisions could be communicated immediately and professionally. I have no doubt that Grace would be a valuable asset to any company and I would not hesitate to recommend her for any role she chooses to pursue.
John Grayson
Grace quickly established herself as an important member of the team and was very quickly able to interpret business critical issues and act on them with 100% success. Her involvement had no doubt saved the company time and money and ensured that time sensitive objectives had been met. Grace is a highly recommended team player.
