I joined DJH in March 2022 as an Assistant Client Manager in the Manchester office. After working with both the Manchester and Stoke offices, around a year later I was asked if I was interested in taking a different path into the world of Continuous Improvement Manager, working in the tech team under the CTO.

As a qualified accountant, I didn’t expect to have a career change, but it was the best decision!

My role involves working with all of the teams across all offices; providing training, rolling out new software, as well as helping the new offices make best use of our centralised tech stack.

Every day I learn something new, as the technology in our industry is moving so quickly. We work really hard to stay ahead of it all. My role is really fast-paced and varied, which is something I really enjoy.

• What makes DJH great is…

  DJH is a supportive and positive place to work. They nurture the passion within the team and get the best out of their people.

  Successes are celebrated and skills are developed through training and support across many different roles.

• My most trusted piece of advice in business is…

  While I don’t have a single piece of business advice to share, my most favourite inspirational quotes come from Walt Disney. A personal favourite is: Progress is impossible without change.

• On a Saturday morning, you’ll usually find me…

  Not too often, but some weekends and a couple of week nights are dedicated to playing badminton, I currently play in 2 teams and for Lancashire which is my home county.
