A fresh face to the industry 18 months ago, Katrina has demonstrated perfectly what it takes to progress quickly within the business.
A new role is daunting at any time, but when you're new to an established industry it's even harder to get your head around the products and way of working. Not for Katrina Jones though, having joined our purchasing Team at our North West Division in April last year she was given the opportunity to take some fresh perspective on what we were doing and contribute to the overall improvement, growth and efficiencies of the purchasing department at Bolton.
I think the last 2 years has seen the biggest changes I have ever gone through in my life from new job to house buying and massive personal and lifestyle changes for me. Through this the Glazerite Team has helped me massively, I've thoroughly enjoyed learning so much about the business and industry and it's got me through a tough couple of years. I look forward to my career progressing with Glazerite.
Katrina Jones
Purchasing Team Leader, Glazerite, North West Division
With responsibility for the ordering of all stock her role is critical in assuring the continous flow in production. This has enabled her to play a heavy role in the reduction of slow-moving stock and delivering a much improved customer returns process.
Katrina has demonstrated a real passion for the business and the role she plays in it, the transformation we've seen in her since joining is fantastic. Her confidence has grown at pace with her product and process learning, whilst brining along 2 new members of the team. With a natural interpersonal and leadership style, we are delighted Katrina has accepted the new role which will be supported with training and mentoring. The promotion is testament to her drive, commitment and hardwork, she is the perfect fit for team leader to take our team forward.
