I started off working in various bakery shops and hotels and eventually found myself in the bookies, William Hill, a gambling company. I worked here for a couple years and then managed to get a role within RBS. I started off as a cashier, then customer adviser and eventually bank manager. It sounds like a rewarding role, but it really isn’t -just predominantly sales! I worked in RBS for 10 years and I became very dissatisfied with this role and lacked confidence. I was promised a lot of promotions and pay rises continuously, but the work politics had me sidelined at all times; that’s when I decided to make a change!!

I secured a role as a Project Manager, and that’s when I realised my passion for mentoring and helping my community, and the birth of Tritek began.
