Summary

My career high was at Disclosure Scotland working in conjunction with a Team from Standard Life where we delivered outstanding improvements across all integrated work processes to achieve a 38% increase in service levels. I had a health situation in 2014 which gave me time to reflect and change course. It is now time for a new career challenge. My professional, solution focused mindset, process, admin and customer service skills will compliment the fantastic service you already deliver and I relish the opportunity of working with yourselves.
