My CV

Education:
I went to a really small primary school in Bolton, it was so small we had to walk to another school to share their sports field and eat lunch in their restaurant! I then went to Farnworth Grammar School which unfortunately closed after I left. My Grandma and my Mum had also gone to school there so the building had become very old.
I then studied chemistry part time at MMU whilst I worked in a quality control laboratory at Magnesium Elektron. I was responsible for testing the products they made on the plant to make sure they were good quality. I was hard working and studying at the same time, a bit like the apprenticeships that exist today, but it was also great as I could learn theory and practical stiff at the same time. -

Work History:
I have had many different jobs at BASF always working with customers.
Customer service based in the office looking after their day to day needs, and then as Account manager which involves visiting customers telling them about what BASF makes to help them produce their own products. I have sold products for cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, household cleaners like washing powders to name a few. My most exiting job was selling ingredients for fragrances, and then I lived and worked in Switzerland!

My Typical Day:
I normally get up around 6.30am and immediately make coffee! After seeing my two children off to school I will either travel around 15 minutes in the car to our office in Cheadle, or I will travel somewhere else for meetings (London, Manchester, Germany are frequent locations). No two days are every the same. I spend a lot of my time helping and supporting my team so we can help our customers, or in lots of meetings where we talk about and plan for the future.
