Responsible for growing commercial relationships with UK based financial institutions. Having exceeded expectations, I was assigned the 'Mutuals' sector to manage independently and positioned within a specialist 'banks' team. I was set to exceed all targets for 2022 but left due to the business decision to operate entirely remotely.

I acted as a Tier 3 operative, contacting those who needed to isolate and informing them of their situation. I resigned in January as this was a full-time position and I needed to allow more time for my MA.
