Leyla was a pleasure to manage. Leyla is very bright with a great attitude and work ethic. She was always very professional. I could always trust Leyla to deliver what was asked of her, and she'd tended to go the extra mile. I also regularly received excellent client feedback. Leyla is destined to go along way !

Leyla and I studied together at London dance Program where she was a great asset for me as a friend, peer and role model. We have since collaborated on various teaching projects and it is always fantastic working with her. I would describe her as extremely intelligent and hard working but at the same time very kind with great people's skills.

I was responsible for supporting Firmstep's (now govService) South East customer base to achieve maximum savings and efficiencies using the Firmstep platform. I acted as first point of contact for our customers (mainly Councils and Housing Associations). In 2017, I became accountable for overseeing the launch, management and promotion of Firmstep's (govService) Customer Success Programme. I led on the design and implementation of the original programme alongside our Customer Ambassador. The programme aims to support all clients to maximise the benefits of the data we provide, such as channel shift data and approximate savings calculated. The programme also facilitates networking across the customer base, provides the ability for customers to share best-practice use of the Platform and the means to leverage this to become an influencer; to celebrate their success both internally and across the Firmstep (govService) Customer Network. As part of this role, I acted as team leader to the London-based internal sales team, assisting in their progress and helping develop their understanding of our customer base and how best-value can be achieved using the Platform through the analysis of data.
