What’s your job title?
I am the HSEQ/Compliance Administrator for Elkins.
What does your role involve?
I work in the HSEQ team under both the HSEQ Manager and Compliance Manager. I provide administrative support to both areas of the business. This includes the creation of health and safety files and operation and maintenance manuals upon completion of projects, assisting in the maintenance of the company quality management system, accreditations and audits.
Most recently I completely reviewed and updated our Supplier Management System, and streamlined the supplier review process, which I now manage on a daily basis. I have also recently taken on the additional role of Mental Health First Aider for the company and now lead the MHFA team in supporting employee mental health and driving team performance.
What’s your background?
I have had a variety of roles over the course of my career, I worked for Barclays for six years, rising from Administration Assistant to Operations Manager. I then worked for a successful gym software company as their Compliance and Quality Manager for several years.
What are you enjoying most so far about your role?
I enjoy being a part of the HSEQ team, where I feel valued and encouraged. It is often very challenging, due to the amount of work, but it definitely helps to have a strong supportive team behind you.
I also very much enjoy my role as an MHFA, as it enables me to help others. This is something that is important to me, as I have previous experience working as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities and I am passionate about helping others in any way I can.
What appealed to you about Elkins?
I had an insight into the company before starting, due to my brother being the Operations Manager. His loyalty and drive to progress the business, showed me that Elkins was a thriving company with a great team and the potential to grow even further.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I am quite a musical person. I play the guitar, sing and, when I can get myself organised, I do gigs in pubs and bars etc. I also have a naughty two-year-old dog, so I enjoy going for walks.
If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?
Loyal, loving and honest.
We’re off to the pub – what’s your order?
Jack and coke 😊
