Oliver A.
Sales Consultant & Department Manager
Oliver joined the business in 2015 as a school leaver on an Apprenticeship Scheme, sponsored by Safe I.S. Ltd, studying Business Administration; 6 years later and he is a core part of the Sales Department.
Having completed a range of roles within the business during his time, from Engineer Assistant, Warehouse Operative & Sales Consultant, his determination, focus, and hard work have seen him succeed with every challenge.
Safe I.S. and Oliver have worked closely over the years, tailoring his training and development plan based on Oliver's needs and wants: and as they adapted the business adapted too, to provide Oliver with the opportunity to progress accordingly. In 2023, Oliver was promoted to a Department Manger role, for the Inbound Sales Team. He has been tasked with developing the department to help improve the service we offer our clients, and to date has been extremely successful in the role.
Oliver has been a proud success story of our apprenticeship scheme, we have loved being a part of his development.
Oliver's Comments:
"Before joining Safe I.S. I was unsure of how to begin my career all I knew is that I wanted an ‘opportunity’, at the age of 17 Safe I.S. gave me the tools and the support I needed to begin my journey and learn a trade.
Safe I.S.’s apprenticeship scheme allowed me to complete a Level 2 Business Administration whilst earning money for my work as a Warehouse Operative. After completing my apprenticeship course and working a further 2 years in the warehouse a role became available on the Sales Team, I saw this as the perfect chance to take the next step in my career after getting feedback about the role from management and colleagues currently working in the department.
Being part of the sales team, I can definitely say I’ve been on some leaps and bounds with a couple of curveballs mixed in but I cannot see myself being anywhere else, I enjoy working with different clients from every walk of life, companies little and large and tailoring our services to match each requirement.
What a journey I’ve been on, and I don’t even think I’ve scratched the surface yet!"
