Bio
Tara Huzar
Jess is an extremely driven, hardworking caring General Manager with an excellent eye for detail and who is a creative problem solver. As a key person who has bought PLATF9RM to where it is today at peak Capacity, over 4 Wings, 2 locations which are always expanding and a growing team. She has been amazing to work with in so many areas and I would not have got as far in my career if it wasn't for her training, support, innovation and deliverance. Jess is a key person that drives our team and enriches communities whilst being the main point of contact alongside pushing revenue, developing business and working on growth strategies. She's Made Work Wonderful for me and many of our team, and has time for any question, challenge or idea. Plus I love that you can always find her smiling or laughing in the space with a lovely cup of Yorkshire tea in her hand.

Jess was one of the very first people I met when starting my new job and immediately put me at ease with her innate warmth. Although she is one of the kindest people I have ever met, she is also one of the most astute when it comes to business. Working closely with her for the past 8 months have allowed me to garner a more comprehensive understanding of the sales world and I have consistently been blown away by her ability to keep the workplace joyous, all the while staying professional.
