Bio
Karen Bleach-Wood MBA
I have had the pleasure of working with Sara for a couple of years at VTNZ. She is one of the most customer orientated people I have met. Nothing is ever a problem and every question is seen as a new learning opportunity. She is one of the hardest working people I have seen and gives all her support to her direct and the wider team. She is the first to volunteer to help out and sees things that need doing and gets on with them. She is an amazingly fast learner and picks up 'systems' particularly well. Her only flaw from what I can see is that she is too humble about her many talents. Lovely all round person and amazingly supportive and competent colleague.
