My career started as a sales negotiator for an estate agent, dealing with vendors, prospective purchasers and solicitors. I also worked for a very well-known vacuum cleaner manufacturer in their customer service department, there I gained my NVQ level 3 Customer Service qualification.
Following this I decided to set up my own business, in which I sold bespoke sash window components for 10 years. During this period, I was able to develop my management skills across all areas of the business. These are the skills I was able to transfer across to my new career with Global Bearings.
I joined Nigel in 2010, dealing with sales enquiries; account queries, and all areas of admin. At Global Bearings, no two days are the same. We take pride in being sure that you’re guaranteed a warm friendly welcome from the team.

Before starting my career with Nigel and Emma at Global bearings, I spent 2 years working at City electrical Factors (CEF), learning the world of electrical wholesale.
My Job title there was Sales Assistant, but no day ever permitted that you be allocated to just one area of the business. Besides learning the in’s & out’s of sales strategies, I also picked up skills from my co-workers and managers such as; stock control and management and team leadership. Progressively fine tuning my performance to succeed within the company.
In my time outside of work I have engaged in extracurricular learning that relates to the world of business and money, also amongst other areas that are more creative..
Global has given me the opportunity to freely offer my skills, with the hopes of helping devlop the business and leading us a direction that merges with the new approaches of the industry.
