- What is your role at Confex and how long have you worked here?
I joined Confex as an Office Administrator (Central Payment) in October 2009. I send member invoices and statements for Arla & Nestlé on Central Payment. I also set up new Members/Suppliers sending login details and publishing Terms documents on the member website portal.
- What did you do before joining Confex?
Before Confex I worked as a Legal Secretary in a Commercial Law Firm and prior to that I was Office Manager for 7 years at a company who built swimming pools nationwide for commercial and domestic customers.
- What do you do when you’re not at Confex?
I love gardening, I find it very therapeutic and it is a good time to relax and reflect. In the evening I enjoy watching the hedgehogs, foxes and cubs visiting my garden they can be quite comical. Once on a very heavy rainy night a fox was slurping up worms like spaghetti all over the garden it was funny and weird all at the same time!
- If you were able to retire tomorrow, how would you spend your time?
Travelling to far away places walking along beaches or working with orangutans in the rainforests.
- Who inspires you?
Michael Portillo I enjoy watching his programmes around the world on the various train journeys.
- What type of business would you go into, if it wasn’t wholesale?
I would like the opportunity to visit orangutans in rainforests in Malaysia & Borneo.
- What is the most interesting place you have visited and why?
Mudeford Spit, lovely walks along the beaches and would be great if one could buy a beach hut!
- What do you like about working at Confex?
We have a great team to work with and the flexibility of working from home but still being available to Members and Suppliers when the need arises.
