Bio
Susie Kevern
In our time working together at Eversfield Organic it was clear that Victoria focuses on building lasting relationships with customers. She worked hard to understand what the customers wanted and how we could deliver that profitably, and in particular she was always there to help resolve any difficulties that were holding up customer payments. She was genuinely supportive of the whole team regardless of function and she working with her was fun, even in the face of tight deadlines and the usual growing business challenges. I hope that at some point in the future we can work together again.
