CAREER HISTORY

CURRENT EMPLOYMENT:

Streamline Kent (Ltd)
June 2016
• Managing 30 drivers
• Allocating work for drivers, covering sickness, holidays
• Legal Compliance, driver hours, regulations etc.
• Interviewing staff, disciplinary hearings
• Dealing with day to day running of operations.
• Managing finance control of the coach department.
• Managing my assistant and three secretary’s
• Problem solving and dealing with Customer service.

Since starting my role at Streamline I have completely changed the whole operation. Drivers were allocated their duties a day before, and morale was low. I have now introduced a system that drivers are aware up to 3 weeks in advance of their duties and improved performance in cleaning their vehicles and driver appearance. I have grown the business with tour work for 2017 which will increase the fleet size.
I have been responsible in writing the company’s new drivers handbook including health and safety policy.
I enjoy a challenging work role and I have the ability to motivate a workforce.
