When did you join Dawsongroup?
January this year, so very early days, but I’m delighted to be here.
What is your job title, and what does it involve?
I’m the Contract Hire Manager at the Stoke branch, and my role is meeting customers, building trust, relationships and understanding their fleet and operational requirements.
What makes you the go-to Contract Hire Manager for local customers?
I take a consultative and professional approach. I listen to the customer and learn about their business. I’m always a phone call away and happy to help.
Why are our people in the Stoke branch our most valuable assets for the customer?
They have long-term working relationships with our customers and interact with them on a daily basis understanding what they need and want and how to deliver it. 75% of the team have over 10 years of working here so they really do know how to keep the wheels turning (no pun intended!).
What’s been the highlight of your time at Dawsongroup?
Being early into my tenure, I have to say the people. Everyone, no matter what their job role has been very welcoming and supportive.
Who or what has been the main influence in your career?
I would say my wife, she has always encouraged me to push myself out of my comfort zone.
What do you do in your spare time?
I spend time with my wife, 18-month-old daughter and our dog Poppy.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I’ve played in a cup final at the Bet365 Stadium.
What’s on your bucket list?
It’s a long list but the first that comes to mind is going to San Francisco and Los Angeles, to catch an arapaima and have a Liverpool FC season ticket.
Anything else you’d like to mention?
Enjoy Life!
