I enjoy football and am a Manchester United fan. I also enjoy walking with my German Pointer and watching films.

I started my working career back in the 1980s working within the Home Office then moved to British Telecom at the start of the new millennium. I am looking forward to this new challenge with Let Alliance as Senior Project Manager and hope to bring the skills I have learnt in all of my previous roles to have a positive impact on this fast moving and innovative business.

My capabilities range from project/programme management, analysis and development of bespoke computer systems through to systems and business analysis. I have extensive experience in delivering Network Infrastructure Assessments, using class leading automated discovery software. I have worked across multiple sectors ranging from local and central government, through to SMEs and multinational organisations.

I have joined Let Alliance because it is a lively, fast-paced, and interesting company to work for, and I believe in their customer commitments. I am looking forward to seeing what is in store for me here. Outside of work, I love to travel, socialise with friends and spend time with animals.

“In 2010 I joined previous colleagues to work on the launch of Let Alliance as Head of Underwriting and negotiated specialist rental guarantee, landlords and tenants insurance products with our underwriters.

I have worked in the property owner and commercial insurance sector since 2002 and started my career as Credit Controller for the commercial property broker Keelan Westall. Following its acquisition by Erinaceous Insurance Services; I moved within the group to work directly for the Insurance Director. My roll included the management of all the insurer binders and agreements, monitoring scheme performance and working on product development.

In 2008 I joined the Towergate Group. I worked on the build and launch of a Letting Agent Solutions.

I have spent the majority of my career working in bar and restaurant management, including several years managing the Polynesian Tiki bar in the Midlands. More recently I was a data analyst for Wickes and a collections advisor for Nationwide Building Society.

I am looking forward to bringing over 10 years of customer service experience to Let Alliance and to expanding my knowledge and skills.

My previous experience is in customer service outside of the lettings and insurance sector. I am looking forward to gaining new skills in this area at Let Alliance.

I really enjoy knitting and football in my spare time.

Having previously worked in retail I have always had a passion to provide exceptional customer service. I look forward to progressing my career at Let Alliance and the challenges that will bring.

“I first started my working life at the age of 17 working in customer facing roles. I studied at college for 2 years and discovered I had a passion for delivering high customer service in a fast paced environment.

Before I joined Let Alliance I had a number of roles in customer service. I joined Let Alliance as I enjoy working with different people on a daily basis and working in a fast paced environment. I look forward to progressing and developing my career and to become a valued member of an exciting, growing company.”

I have over 15 years’ experience within the financial and insurance sectors across various industries, most notably Lloyds Banking Group and Carpenters. Being exposed to these cultures I acquired a passion for offering great customer service within a business that prides itself on delivering on its core values and commitments.

My role offers me a platform to work within a dynamic forward-thinking business that embraces positive change and innovation, whilst always putting the customer at the heart of everything they do. This is an exciting prospect for me and I look forward to what the future brings within the Let Alliance family.

I live in Ellesmere Port but am originally from Chester. I like to keep active by going to the gym and I enjoy family outings with my partner and two children. I have a 3 year old son and a 10 month old daughter, so I feel very blessed but also very tired!

I am a Liverpool fan but also follow my home town team Chester FC – the mighty seals! My son just recently became the club mascot for the day, a very proud moment for myself and his grandad.

Before joining Let Alliance, I spent four years working in the hospitality industry in a busy customer service role. I believe my role at Let Alliance will further increase my skills and provide me with greater knowledge, whilst taking the next steps in my career. Outside of work I enjoy watching football and socialising with family & friends.

“I am the founder & CEO of Let Alliance, the fastest growing specialist provider of tenant referencing and rent guarantee in the UK. I have over 25 years of management experience within the retail financial services and residential property investment market, overseeing growth and acquisitions across several companies.

Previously I was Business Development Director at Towergate Partnership and Sales & Marketing Director of Towergate’s subsidiary Paymentshield. Prior to this, I was Chief Executive of Erinaceous Insurance Services (now Barbon) and Group Sales & Marketing Director of Erinaceous Group Plc.”

Having worked in the hospitality industry throughout my time studying at University, I developed a good understanding of what it takes to provide excellent customer service.

I’m looking forward to expanding my knowledge and growing as part of the Let Alliance team.

My Let Alliance journey began in February 2015 in the referencing team, processing tenant reference data and supporting the referencing account managers. In April 2016 I progressed into the role of an account manager in the Partnerships referencing team, managing the accounts of some of our largest customers based in central London.

In August 2017 I moved into the Rent Guarantee team as a claims adviser. When an agent needs to make a claim for Rent Guarantee they are in an uncertain and vulnerable position, so being able to guide letting agents through the process ensuring their landlords are happy is a very rewarding role.

Handling claims for our customers has inspired me to continue to broaden my knowledge of our industry and I am enjoying studying for my ARLA qualification, as I am keen to expand my understanding of tenancy legislation.

My out of work commitments include running and hot yoga, and I also enjoy giving my time volunteering for the Cheshire Youth Commission and Youth Advisory Group for Cheshire Police.

Being a cog in the wheel of an expanding and forward thinking company is very exciting. I hope to continuously expand my knowledge and skills during my time at Let Alliance.

I started my career in Human Resources when I moved to London and worked in the leisure industry in a health spa. I moved back to the North West in 2003 and have continued working in HR in various sectors including pharmaceuticals, recruitment, travel and local Government. I have gained 6 years of my HR experience working for a private healthcare company where I was recruited as part of the initial ‘start-up’/mobilization team for a purpose built private hospital. It was having gained this ‘start-up’ experience at the healthcare company that first attracted me to the role here at Let Alliance. It’s really exciting to be working in a fast-paced and growing company, and to be part of a team who are genuinely committed to standing by the values and commitments that are at the forefront of everything we do.

I started my working life running the University bar then moved into pub management for some years.

Having also tried running a few small businesses based around custom engineering, I then began working in financial services for Royal & Sun Alliance on Pension and Mortgage reviews which was hugely satisfying.

I moved to Norwich Union and spent a number of years in motor claims and supplier management before moving to the broker side of motor insurance for about 6 years. Here I developed in fleet insurance management and sales until I had the chance to try something new – my life mantra!

Having some experience from working with the property teams in Norwich Union, I was intrigued by Let Alliance when the role came up and now I am here and loving it!

I have previously worked in automotive, manufacturing and sports and leisure industries all in a marketing capacity supporting brand growth. I’m looking forward to working in an industry that I have always had an interest in and helping further grow the strong communication strategies and brand image of Let Alliance.

I enjoy all stereotypical nerd activities; watching television, films and working with computers, I am also a keen Liverpool supporter.

After working in the car insurance industry and various other customer service roles, I am excited to apply my skill set to my new role at Let Alliance. Outside of work, I enjoy attending music gigs, the cinema and making cosmetics.

I joined Let Alliance after working in the medical recruitment industry. The fast-paced environment and diversity of my role at Let Alliance is something I really enjoy and I am excited to see what the future brings.

I love to travel and when I’m not at work, I’m always planning my next adventure.

Since graduating from the University of Chester with a degree in English Literature, I have immersed myself in customer service based roles; from being a team member at Asda, to perfecting the pornstar martini as a bar supervisor. These combined customer  service skills will enable me to deliver in my role at Let Alliance.

After working in the retail industry since 2009, it was time for a brand new challenge. I have gained so much experience in customer service, mainly with my last role at a footwear retailer for almost 6 years. I am looking forward to developing these skills within Let Alliance and to starting a new career.

Outside of work, I like to socialise with friends and go to the gym.

Joining from a previous role as an administrator for training courses I learnt that it is important to do everything possible to deliver for and help our customers. I am looking forward to developing my skills and career at Let Alliance.

I joined Let Alliance following my graduation from university in 2016. In my spare time, I love up-cycling old furniture, learning the Welsh language and spending time with my daughter.

After finishing secondary school, I went straight to University and studied Law; I didn’t especially have any intentions to pursue that career, I just wanted a challenge and luckily I thoroughly enjoyed the subject and experience!

From University I gained experience in various employment sectors, including Retail and Pharmaceutical, all requiring high levels of customer service and a passion for always giving the customer the very best experience possible.

I relocated to the north west and joined Let Alliance. There hasn’t been one day where I haven’t learnt something new and I am very excited to be a part of such a specialised and dynamic team.

Since leaving school I have worked in customer service roles in the banking and retail sector. I am looking forward to progressing my career at Let Alliance.

I started my working life as an Office Junior for a Mortgage Packager in 2001, progressing to become an Underwriter and then a Mortgage Adviser giving direct face to face advice. Up until 2009 I continued being a Mortgage Adviser both employed and self-employed.

After the market went boom in 2008/2009, I joined Marks & Spencer as a Customer Assistant through Christmas. It was meant to be a temporary measure but after 7 years, after fulfilling a variety of roles for the company, I was still there as a Manager.

Throughout my career I have had to show versatility, an eagerness to succeed, a keen attention to detail and most importantly a strong desire to give the best customer service possible.

Outside of work, I have three beautiful little girls who keep me occupied, and when time allows I am a keen hill walker and cyclist.

After finishing sixth form in 2013 and achieving A levels in Accountancy, Business Studies and Law, I started an apprenticeship in a small accountancy practice where I worked for 3 years. Working in a practice gave me a lot of experience in many different areas of accountancy and during my time there I also studied for and obtained my Level 3 AAT.

In September 2016 I decided to leave that role and spend a year travelling, visiting Australia and various places around Europe. Once I returned I decided it was time to take the next step in my career and felt Let Alliance was the perfect place for me to do that.

I joined Let Alliance as they offer career progression within their team. I am looking forward to being part of a company that puts their team at the forefront of what they do.

I have many years experience in Sales & giving high levels of customer service. I take pride in delivering the very best in all I do and making things as simple as possible.

I enjoy cooking, dancing, going to the gym and spending time with friends and family.

My previous work experience is in hospitality, having 9 years of customer service experience. I am looking forward to developing new skills and progressing with Let Alliance.

I enjoy travelling and attending music festivals in my spare time.

I have had 6 years experience in a customer service based role. I joined Let Alliance for a new challenge and hopefully progress in my career.

In my spare time, I enjoy socialising with friends and family and crocheting.

I am delighted to be part of the fabulous Let Alliance team. Before joining I managed letting agencies for 18 years and I am excited to be leading the sales team of such an innovative and forward thinking business.

I enjoy English and American sports but most of all football, even if I am an Arsenal fan!

“I joined forces with past colleagues in 2010 to set up Let Alliance Ltd. Being a firm believer in the power of customer service, I introduced a set of values and strategy based on Ten Customer Commitments and an exceptional customer experience, by way of a more intimate account management relationship that would secure the longevity of the customer partnership with the business. I have embarked on a recruitment campaign that would focus on attracting and selecting the very best team of account managers; developing the remuneration and training framework that not only supported but also encouraged career progression within the business.

I started my career at Pearl Assurance, part of AMP Financial Services. Spending the first 5 years in Human Resources, I then took on the role of Assistant to the Sales & Marketing Director responsible for the implementation and monitoring of sales management targets and sales communications for a field based team of 1500 representatives across the UK.

After 10 years with Pearl, I joined Erinaceous Insurance Services (EIS) helping to develop the growth strategy and implementation for Homelet. This saw the organic growth of the company two fold, leading to the acquisition/integration of Letsure; and 50% of the market share in the tenant assessment sector.

After a successful 4 years with EIS, I joined The Towergate Partnership in order to set up CCV Letting Agent Solutions (CCV LAS), which would launch them into the lettings tenant referencing and insurance market.”

My wife and I have several pets which keeps us very busy, especially in the summer months when we attend many fun dog shows. Our Welsh sheepdog, Alfie, regularly wins rosettes for his “singing skills” – his favourite artists are Amy Whinehouse, with her “Valerie” being his X Factor song, and Van Morrison!

My active sporting days are behind me although in my younger days I played a lot of football as well as completing the London Marathon, the Great North Run, the 3 Peaks Challenge and climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. I am a passionate Evertonian having been a season ticket holder for many years and also follow my local Welsh Premier League team, Connah’s Quay Nomads.

I have always worked in a role that was directly involved in customer service, from sports-retail to a health club duty manager. I joined Let Alliance to change careers and present myself with a challenge to develop a rewarding career for both myself and the customer.

Away from work, I play Rugby and enjoy spending time with my family for days out and weekends away.

In 2015 I progressed to managing a dedicated team of inbound call handlers, ensuring all calls were answered swiftly and to the highest of standards. I then advanced to the role of team leader, heading up a team of enthusiastic and devoted customer service representatives.

In 2016, the Home Office Right to Rent legislation came in to force and I progressed to my current role as Right to Rent Advisor. My expertise in document analysis and connections with the Home Office were required. I am now responsible for ensuring that both Let Alliance and our letting agent customers are fully trained and compliant with the legislation. I also oversee our hardworking multi-skilled team of referencing administrators as they are responsible for the processing of our Global Right to Rent references.

Some of my out of work interests include football and history.

I originally joined Let Alliance as a temporary summer worker before joining the team permanently. I attended university to study Youth and Community work and during this time I worked with young people aged 11-25. Before this, I got my degree in business, whilst also running a busy public house.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, making many fun memories. I also enjoy watching rugby and I support Wales while being part of the Welsh Rugby Union.

I am very passionate about helping people to the best of my ability by giving honest advice. I also strive to deliver the best possible customer service.

“I began my career in communications working for the mobile phone provider Orange but quickly moved into the Residential Lettings Sector in 2005 when I began working for Jordan’s Residential Lettings as a Negotiator. Working within all areas of the lettings business, I was transferred to the Chester branch in 2007 as Branch Manager. I was successful in transforming the business and increasing the overall performance.

The Jordan’s Chester office was purchased and re-branded with me project managing the transformation of the business into Jordan & Halstead, overseeing the migration of customers, staff and systems. I also worked on the transfer of property portfolios from other letting agency acquisitions. Tasked with running the business I was accountable for all areas including finance, management and business development.

I worked within customer service for a major credit card company for two years before joining the Rent On Time team. I felt I needed more of a challenge and was keen to utilise my customer service skills within a different industry. My role began with legal claims administration and has since developed into reporting, providing essential updates and liaison between letting agents and our legal team to give our customers peace of mind. I’ve learnt a lot about the lettings industry during my time within the company so far and I’m keen to build on this.

“Before working at Let Alliance I have come from a fast paced customer service role in retail. I continued to work alongside my studies and completed a degree in History with Archaeology with a 2:2 BA Honours.

I am now looking forward to new challenges and exploring new aspects of customer service with Let Alliance.”

I have spent most of my working career in sales in various industry sectors, so I have a broad knowledge of different techniques and products.

I believe my role at Let Alliance will further increase my knowledge and provide me with all the skills I need to take the next steps in my career.

Outside of work I try to be as active as I can and play a bit of football. I enjoy snowboarding and try to go every year, hitting as many different countries as I can.

After working in retail in Afghanistan for over two years, I decided to change my career path. I completed my level 2 Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) level 2 course whilst working for the NHS for a year. Both of these roles have helped me to develop unique skills which I now bring to the Let Alliance team. This is a very exciting opportunity for me to use my qualifications and develop my skills in the finance sector.

I’ve worked with Let Alliance for over 2 years, starting a as a member of the referencing team then moving into administration where I worked my way up to a senior administrator with a team of 8. I’ve transformed the administration processes with great success whilst collaborating with our other teams including rent guarantee and claims. I was given the opportunity to work with the senior management team and project manage the Rent on Time acquisition. It’s a learning curve that I don’t expect will end as I learn something new every day.

With the help of my ARLA qualification, and Accounting Diploma I plan to continue developing our fantastic product and determined team to the highest standards, whilst ensuring our customers are our number one priority.

My previous experience includes retail work and most recently, a role as a case handler at M&S Money. I am joining Let Alliance to develop my skills, meet new people and develop a career down the line.

In October 2016 I was appointed to the role of team trainer. I am responsible for supporting our new team members during their initial induction programme and providing refresher training for our whole team throughout their careers. My ultimate goal is to ensure that all Let Alliance employees are able to confidently deliver an exceptional service to our customers, in line with our customer commitments and team values.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing former trainees succeed and progress!

Prior to this, I worked for a conveyancing company in Chester. I worked as a Diary Scheduler, arranging appointments for EPCs to be completed. This required me to be extremely organised, and involved building and maintaining relationships with our estate agent and letting agent customers.

Having previously worked in retail and hospitality, customer service has been the main focus of all my roles. I graduated university with a Business and Management degree and have learnt a lot about business theory – it is now time for me to put it into practice. One of the main reasons I joined Let Alliance is the company values which apply to our customers and team. To be part of a company that ‘does what it says on the tin’ is so important. To know you’re part of a team that encourages diversity and minimises hierarchy is so refreshing and exciting!

My free time consists of spending time with my friends and family and the odd holiday or two! I love experiencing different places and cultures.

Originally from Spain, I moved to the UK in 2013 to kick-start my career. I have extensive experience in hospitality, mainly in customer service roles. I am very excited to see what the future holds for me at Let Alliance.

Outside of work I enjoy meeting up with friends and family, going to watch movies and travelling the world.

I like to attend various comic conventions within the UK. I also love to crochet, make jewellery and play video games.

I attended college to study carpentry and joinery.  Upon leaving college I went onto building and designing speakers for a company called OHM.  Following on from this I then went into my first sales role at ‘The Racing School’ providing driving experiences at lucrative circuits including Donnington Park and Brands Hatch.

I’m now extremely pleased to be a part of the Let Alliance Insurance Sales Team providing assistance and quotations to Tenants & Landlords who require protection for their buildings and/or contents.

In my spare time I love watching football and I am a big Everton fan.

I oversee managing a large portfolio of housing benefit clients through our business. This is a niche part of the Rent on Time business, however, my history is working within the largest housing association in the UK. This experience allows me to have a great deal of knowledge and real passion for the role. My key strength is building customer relationships. My clients can talk to me about anything relating to this to help them manage their portfolios. Prior to my role at Rent on Time I worked at Evolift as Business Development Manager.

My previous experience was working for a mobile phone network company, making outbound calls to customers regarding their upgrades. I also have face-to-face customer service experience having worked for the jewellery company Pandora before I left to go travelling around Asia and Australia.

I’m excited to be working at Let Alliance and becoming part of the team. I am very passionate about customer service and working in a fast paced environment.

I started working for Let Alliance in February 2016 in my role as referencing administrator. Having worked in customer services roles throughout my working career I find job satisfaction in helping others.

In my spare time I enjoy my family and close friends, travelling and of course spending time with my adorable cats!

I joined Let Alliance having worked in admin and accountancy roles for the past 4 years, initially in the travel industry and more recently in an independent private school. Prior to this I studied Accounting & Finance at university in Bangor. I am currently studying my ACCA qualifications and am excited to transfer these skills and develop in my role here at Let Alliance.

Outside of the work environment I play hockey and golf. I also enjoy walking a lovely (yet slightly mischievous) cocker spaniel.

I started my career as a systems engineer in mid-range and mainframe systems. Throughout a career spanning over 29 years, I have gained in-depth experience in a multitude of IT disciplines including IT strategy, IT architecture, IT management, project management, technology deployment and operations, people management, resource management and hardware engineering.

Throughout my career I have had the privilege of working with some of the world’s largest IT organizations, including more than eight years in Microsoft as a consultant, senior consultant and later on as an Enterprise Strategy Consultant – ITAP Advisor.

Experienced in communicating at Board level and internally driven to support service excellence, service innovation, operational efficiency and quality and with a very strong consulting and architecture background, I have a well-rounded understanding of the business as well as related requirements, initiatives and pain-areas. This allows the creation of innovative solutions to complex situations and generation of strategies that effectively satisfy existing and forecasted requirements.

“After leaving school, I was lucky to secure a position with Pilkington Brothers who are a large Global Organisation. There were no quick routes to progression other than focusing on personal development and hard work. This involved working towards academic and professional qualifications (including additional evening courses) and completing dedicated training at the Pilkington Academy.

This ethos inspired me to progress into marketing, working towards gaining professional ‘Chartered Institute Of Marketing’ qualifications. After several years in Marketing Management, I moved into senior Operational Management roles, followed by more recently, Head Of Customer Service and Experience, where I was accountable for delivering outstanding levels of Customer Service, focusing on the Customer Journey.

I joined Let Alliance in December 2015 at a very exciting time of outstanding growth, bringing with me my past experience and knowledge to ensure that we continue to deliver on the company values, delight our customers and ensure that we uphold our commitment to keep customers at the heart of it”.

I have spent seven years in various customer service roles, both customer facing and in an office environment. I believe my role at Let Alliance will add to my skill set and give me the tools to progress my career further here.

Outside of work my main interests are cars and football. I spend a lot of my free time working on my cars with my mates and attending various race track days and car meets, and spending far too much money on them. I support Liverpool and try to go to as many games as possible, which is normally a couple each month.

Having returned from living in New Zealand for a few years, working as a travel agent, I joined the Let Alliance team – I am looking forward to seeing what the future holds for me.

I graduated from Bangor University with a degree in Geography in 2015 and went on to work in fast-paced customer facing environments.

I joined Let Alliance to learn new skills and I am looking forward to developing my knowledge of the property industry.

My working background is predominantly within the education sector, so I’m excited for a brand new challenge heading up the marketing team for Let Alliance. I hope to make a real impact with my existing skills and ideas, and to develop the new marketing team to be a key department within the business.

My skills and experience lie within strategy marketing, commercial management, advertising, copy writing, analysis and brand development. I have delivered and implemented brand and marketing strategies that have helped to drive businesses forward and be ahead of the curve in ever-changing sectors, so I’m looking forward to the fast-paced, innovative world of Let Alliance and the lettings industry.

I am a wife and have a passion for photography and cooking. Together my husband and I share our black Labrador-child, Ralph.

My words to live by: “Success in life begins only when you make a commitment to become excellent at what you do”.

“After receiving my A-Levels I went straight into employment as I knew University was not for me and I started working in a recruitment agency as a branch administrator. I never thought about working in an office before working there and realised this was a career I wanted to pursue. I moved back to Chester and joined Let Alliance in August 2013 and I have changed dramatically since. Working here I have noticed my confidence improve and this is shown even when I am outside of work.”

I joined Let Alliance because of the great work environment and opportunities. I have previously worked within the Tenant Referencing Sector so I feel I can bring a lot to the team.

In my spare time, I enjoy ballroom & Latin dancing and travelling to new places.

Prior to Let Alliance I worked in fast paced sales and customer service role for a franchise of O2. This role taught me how to deliver the best customer service face to face and different selling techniques that I still use day to day. I joined Let Alliance to further develop my knowledge and experience in another sector and to build a career in a successful company.

I have worked within the referencing partnerships team since starting in April 2016 and was initially an account manager for a large agent based in central London. In this role I developed knowledge and experience and was promoted to senior customer advisor. I work closely with my team leader to manage the team and to provide support and training, as well as ensuring the quality of our work is to a high standard. I’m currently studying for my ARLA qualification and enjoying learning about the lettings sector in more detail. I’m excited for my future with Let Alliance.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and my black labrador Chief.

I previously worked in hospitality as a bar/restaurant supervisor, and also in retail as an operations team leader. I have joined Let Alliance for a new and different challenge to develop myself and to create a career.

I enjoy going on walks in and around the Chester countryside. I also make my own jewellery for friends and family.

Before working at Let Alliance I worked in various roles within the financial and car insurance industry. I gained experience in both customer service and administration which will help me to deliver an excellent level of customer service at Let Alliance. I am looking forward to studying for the ARLA qualification and developing my skills further.

In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, cooking and reading; my favourite genres are crime thriller, mystery, gothic and romance.

I have recently changed careers from working as a carer, which was a rewarding job. I am a huge fan of rock and metal music and my main hobbies are record collecting and travelling the UK watching my favourite bands perform. I am looking forward to an exciting career with Let Alliance and having more free time to go gigs at the weekends!

Before joining Let Alliance I worked within the insurance brokerage area for 12 years, dealing with many aspects of insurance from Property Insurance to Commercial Combined Insurance.

I am looking forward to the exciting future that Let Alliance has ahead for us all.  

With any free time I have, I spend it with my pony Frankie B or spectating at motorsport events.

I have 5 years previous experience working in a fast paced retail environment, progressing from General Assistant to Team Support in my time there.
I look forward to expanding my customer experience skills and knowledge during my time at Let Alliance.

I work on quality assurance for the IT development team. I recently joined the Let Alliance team so I am learning new concepts and applying my skills to improve the quality of products delivered through our systems development.

I am a globe trotter and I look forward to new travel adventures in my free time. I also love murder mystery and fiction novels.

“Spent 5 months traveling across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji before that I spent four and a half year as assistant manager for Brunning and Price working in a busy retail environment.”

After studying at sixth form, I decided that I wanted to complete an apprenticeship in Business Administration. The role I was given was Accounts Assistant and I was promoted to Purchase Ledger Clerk after my apprenticeship was completed. Not only was I able to gain my Business Admin NVQ level 2, but I was also able to experience a career in finance, something which I soon realised I would love. After this, I decided on a change to gain more confidence and experience and worked as a Recruitment Resourcer and a Customer Service Advisor. Now I have been lucky enough to pursue my finance career at Let Alliance and I am looking forward to the opportunities and progression available here.

Before joining Let Alliance, I had over 3 years of face-to-face customer service experience working in retail and in a beauty salon. I then moved to a call centre where I worked for 3 years dealing with customer queries over the phone. I joined Let Alliance to experience how a bigger company works, having worked for smaller companies in the past.

I love travelling and going out with my friends.

Having previously worked in a customer based environment, building strong relationships is something that I’m really passionate about. I am really looking forward to gaining new skills and broadening my knowledge within HR at Let Alliance.

I’ve previously worked as an optical assistant, supervisor and waitress. Fast paced and excellent customer service is all I have ever known! I’ve joined Let Alliance to put my skills to good use and enjoy the opportunities this provides for me.

At home, I am a step-mum to two young boys with a one year old puppy, so controlled chaos is my forte. I love having a busy life and the challenges it brings.

I joined Let Alliance with a background in hospitality to further my knowledge in customer service and to try something new.

I have a passion for travel, music and meeting people from all walks of life and I love talking to people!

Before joining Let Aliance I worked in a call centre based role. I am looking forward to developing further within a customer service role and gaining more experience within the lettings industry.

In my spare time I am involved with many local dance projects, teaching Street Dance within the Wrexham community.

I have worked consistently in customer service roles in some capacity since I was 16, I am looking forward to further progressing in my skills regarding customer service and learning brand new things about a whole new industry.

Outside of work I enjoy reading, attending my younger brothers football matches and  walking my dogs around north wales where my family reside.

Before joining Let Alliance I was a letting agent for 12 years, from managing rural estate residential portfolios to mainstream lettings. Having worked for both corporate and independent agents, covering 12 bed listed manor with game larders to sea view penthouse new builds, I have seen it all!

I started my property career with Savills Winchester as a PA but soon became a property manager for the rural estates team overseeing the lifecycle of a rural estate property from re-development, marketing and move ins to property management and end of tenancy. During that time I also became ARLA qualified.  After five years I moved to Savills Lettings as Negotiator and quickly onto Head of Department. After 6 years with Savills, I moved across to Chesterton Humberts as a Lettings Manager and in 2014, Hamptons International acquired the lettings element of Chesterton Humberts. Working for Hamptons International as a Lettings Manager in Salisbury was a fantastic experience and I moved on from them to have my second child and move up to Chester with my husband’s job, also in the property industry.

Let Alliance is a vibrant and forward thinking place to work and I’m excited to be in the position to support agents in the ever challenging property industry.

“I’ve had a varied career which has given me great confident and knowledge. I started my first job at 16 years old on a Government YTS scheme working in retail at Discount for Beauty. I moved into the printing industry to which my claim to fame was producing the T-shirt for Geoff Capes for his bid to become Britain Strongest Man.

Later moving into the banking sector staring my career in telephone sales for the AA Financial Services, I progressed and became a Treasury Dealer providing the funding for Lloyds Bank. I further became an assistant accountant, producing management accounts and also gaining my AAT qualifications. I changed direction and worked in a residential care home as a carer and activities co-ordinator for 3 years and achieved my NVQ level 2/3 in Health & Social Care. I am now excited to join Let Alliance and look forward to becoming an active and dynamic member of the insurance team.

Outside of work I have many interests from motorbike riding, parachute jumping and abseiling anything that has a thrill of excitement.”

I joined Let Alliance from management information and administration roles at Cheshire West & Chester Council. My previous roles in the Council’s Economic Growth sector have provided me with the fundamentals of providing an excellent level of customer care and the need for accuracy in delivery.

I’m looking forward to being part of a great team and progressing my career at Let Alliance.

I joined Let Alliance after working in administration based roles within the NHS and the banking sector. I believe my previous roles, plus my experience as a course rep and radio DJ which I gained while undertaking my psychology degree, have provided me with the fundamentals of providing an excellent level of customer service and prepared me for my role. I am looking forward to being part of a great team and working towards my personal career progression with Let Alliance.

Prior to my role at Let Alliance, I worked in the estates  department of a hospital, which I loved however after recently relocating to Wrexham I am hoping to find the same love for the job in my new career here. Let Alliance values and supports their team which is a big selling point. Outside of work, I like to get lost in the woods with my boy and the dogs, spend as much time as possible lifting heavy things in the gym and most physical sports.
