Michelle is our newest recruit and began her career as a secretary, working in healthcare, construction, and as a personal secretary to the Director of an independent estate agent. Her career took a change in direction after personal circumstances forced her to take on the challenge of finance. Working her way through legal and financial jargon, she became fascinated with the financial business sector and secured the position of Administrator within a local financial services company.
Unfortunately Michelle became disillusioned with the company she worked for but had come to love the financial sector and wanted a job that was both challenging and rewarding, giving her job satisfaction.
Then fate took over. She was put in touch with Platinum IFS, who were seeking an Administrator to work 3-4 days a week. Just what she wanted. Having been told a little about the company she researched their website, and saw smiling faces that gave the impression that Platinum was a nice place to work. She read the biographies of the team and looked forward to her interview with Jen. She was not disappointed, describing it as ‘like meeting a friend’. A further interview followed with both Martin and Jen; and she took up the job offer.
Eager to start she has not been disappointed. As she learns how Platinum operates she knows she has made the right choice. The job is both challenging and rewarding.
She says that they are completely different in the attitude they take towards clients, staff, the working environment, the office, everything! Staff well-being is clearly a high priority, together with client welfare and securing their financial future.
As Michelle begins working with both established and new clients, she knows she has made the right decision in choosing Platinum; and goes home with the satisfaction that she has done a good days work and that clients are in very safe hands.
Outside of work she loves holidaying in Europe; walking, particularly in the Lakes; looking after her garden (leaving the lawn for her husband to cut) and enjoying their two cats: Tom and Moody; which he apparently is!
