Installation & Aftercare Supervisor

Customer Support, installation management and aftercare keep me busy. I was an installer for eight years. I’m from a football family, so that takes up much of my leisure time. Colleagues might describe me as dependable.

I’m a key contact between customers, suppliers and account managers, inputting orders and dealing with installs end-to-end. UK Atomic was a great project, with huge orders in a few days – a lot of concentration for a tight timeframe. I recently ran a 10k in a good time, and enjoy looking after my daughters.

I’m responsible for ensuring the highest standards of safety, health, environment, and quality across SBI. I support teams to maintain compliance, improve performance and create safe, efficient working environments. I enjoy being able to make a real difference—I also value the variety of the role. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family—especially my granddaughter—and getting out for walks.

I oversee daily financial operations, invoicing, payments and reconciliations, focusing on accuracy, efficiency, and ensuring smooth, accurate processing of all transactions. Problem solving and collaboration with my team are the most rewarding aspects. That said, I think I’d be called a troublemaker if you asked my teammates! My guilty pleasure is keeping up with the Kardashians.

Credit control is my main remit. When there has been a difficult debt to retrieve and payment finally hits the bank, I know my hard work has paid off! Most of my time outside work is spent with my two beautiful daughters, who keep me on my toes.
