I joined the team in 2018 and at that time we did not have an HR department. We now have a payroll and HR department and continue to grow the team moving from transactional to a strategic partner in the business. Our business is going through a period of change and it is a very exciting time for us all. New hires joining our business join at a very exciting time with lots of opportunities to grow with the business and be part of our journey moving forward.

I joined the team back in January 2018 as a Credit Controller. My skills were quickly picked up on by our previous Managing Director, who noticed the passion I had for credit control. I was enrolled into the Chartered Institute of Credit Management course, which helped me broaden my knowledge of the various issues surrounding credit control. Upon Completion, I was offered the position of Senior Credit Controller, a role that came with greater responsibility; I am now tasked with assisting my Line Manager whilst continuing to progress and develop my career.

I started working for The Garage Door Company back in 2018, and have since undertaken a variety of roles within the company, ranging from administration, wholesale, retail, sales and installation. Under the leadership of my Branch Manager, Clare, I enrolled into a Team Leader NVQ Apprenticeship and have found this to be incredibly beneficial when learning about how to manage individuals and scenarios. Through a range of learning and management styles, I believe I have built upon my expertise to gain a better understanding of how to be an effective leader.

I started with the team in 2023 and was offered a route of development as an Engineer. Working closer with the Training Manager Andy, a training plan was put in place for me to become a Level 3 Engineer. The thorough training plan not only taught me the fundamentals of role but the high standards that The Garage Door Company expect from a team member. My development has been an upward trajectory since starting here.

I started with the company back in 2021 and my role has kept developing further and further throughout my time at The Garage Door Company. Being able to work alongside our senior management team closely, whilst also being given the platform to release my creative freedom, exploring our online image and content shows the trust and transparency they provide to the team. This role has lead me to work on many exciting projects along the way, increasing my knowledge and awareness in the industry.
