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 .”
