WHEN QUICKSLIDE CHAIRMAN Adrian Barraclough first saw new recruit Amy Perrin in the sales processing centre, he had some reservations. Despite delivering a positive interview, at just 18, her employment history was limited and she had no experience within the glazing industry. However, she was pleasant with a genuine desire to be given a chance.
“ I remember having a really positive interview and got good vibes from that,” explained Amy,“ It seemed like a nice place to work and the staff I met at the time seemed happy to be here.” Since that day, Amy has applied herself admirably to her role and become a very popular
account manager, displaying great initiative and an enviable product knowledge.
“ I love my job and having been here for so long my experience only builds, and I’ ve developed a wonderful understanding of my clients,” Amy continued.
“ There is always lots going on at work, with both the job itself and internal developments which means you always have to be on the ball and that creates a nice pressure – I like the lively atmosphere and it challenges a lot of areas where I believe my strengths lie.”
