What part of your job brings you most joy?
I like complex problem solving, whether that be a customer challenge that we can apply our solutions to help solve, or an internal process or problem that I can help fix or simplify.

No day is the same, always new challenges and although we are a large organization we are still small enough to suggest changes and influence the direction of the organization.

When I originally joined I saw it as a temporary job, I am still here 16 years later and enjoying every day.

One of the best things at Proact is the people. Everyone is helpful and friendly and we have a real culture of working together to achieve a common goal.

Your most recent private trip went to?
Last year we visited family in Australia which was a simply amazing. We walked through a rain forest in the morning, sat on a beach in the afternoon, we got to swim on the Great Barrier reef and fed Kangeroos. We ticked every box on the bucket list (although the credit card took quite a beating).
How do you use Tech in your daily life?
I have the usual range of Smart devices. Alexas, a watch that tells me when to stand, breath and make me feel guilty that I should have done some more exercise.
Your favourite music band?
I like a variety, anything from some of the classic bands like AC/DC, The Who, Pulp to more modern bands.

What are you most proud of having achieved during your time at Proact?
Initiating the graduate scheme. Graduates often have all the technical abilities but don’t have the experience to apply that knowledge. Over the 2 year programme we give them that experience and train them to be true Proactivists.
