Looking forward, the biggest changes to our organisation
in the post Covid era will be .... the changes to staff
working in a more flexible way. The restrictions during the
pandemic forced staff to work from home when this had never been
the practice within the firm. Through Teams and adapting other
software to ensure remote access, we have been successful in many
roles, to be able to work from home. In future, some roles will
involve more days working from home and this will allow greater
flexibility to staff.
The future vision for our organisation in Glasgow is
... to continue to grow and provide excellent service to
our clients, new and existing.
The three best things about working in Glasgow are
... the people, the shops and the restaurants.
My favourite part of Glasgow is ... Royal
Exchange Square when it is dark and the overhead canopy lights are
all on - they look so magical in the darker months when they are
lit up
The most satisfying thing about my job is ...
when I am able to help clients to ensure their business is as
profitable as it can be
Financial services is a great career choice because
... there is such a varied number of options and every day
is different.
The biggest challenge I have faced in my career to date
was ... when I moved to work near Manchester in 1999/2000.
Although only 200 miles away, having to adapt to a new area which
was completely unknown was a challenge. It was however a great
learning experience for me and I made friends during that time who
I still keep in contact with today.
The businessperson I most admire is ... Trinny
Woodall. The growth in Trinny London since the start of the
pandemic has been amazing.
Outside of work, I am passionate about ... my
family. I have a 7 year old daughter and husband, as well as a
large extended family.
My approach to achieving work life balance is
... trying to make sure I always spend quality time
at the weekends with my family. After fitting in my daughter's
various clubs and my husband's golf, we like to have family movie
nights, which normally involves a lot of Disney movies. We also
like to go on family bike rides together.
