Today is International Womens Day and it would be bad of me not to celebrate the 2 women who help shape and drive our business forward.
Back in 2021, I was a lone self employed person and had been since 2012 when CTR was formed.
We were coming out of Covid and work was up and down, companies still fearful of opening their doors and businesses were struggling.
Debbie at that time was in a predicament in her own job and had to make a decision that would affect her long term career options.
The decision was made to leave her then current job and join CTR as a Business Development Manager. This title does not justify what Debbie has actually done for the business, she is more of a miracle worker!
Over the last 5 years with Debbie onboard and sharing different ideologies, implementing new systems along with being proactive and enthusiastic in growing CTR, she has almost quadrupled our business projection, added excitement and is just so focussed on her work commitments it makes me proud to be apart of her journey. Without fail every day Debbie turns up, motivates herself, ploughs through her to do list with passion and enthusiasm despite working from home and achieves big things, daily!
Fast foward to October 2023, we had grown some what with additional workload, increased freelance staff and a change in our business model we needed extra admin support to help allieviate the every day admin pressure we decided to recruit a part time office worker.
Although being young and inexperienced with only being 16 at the time and this being her first 'proper' job, Amelia joined the team. She excels in everything she is challenged with. Her confidence has grown massively, she works on her own terms and has the ability to use initiative and get on with her job seamlessly. Her work ethic makes me proud and to see her grow in her development towards work is immensly satisfying.
To work with these 2 fantastic humans and all of the women I work with daily, is a privillege and to celebrate their success as women is an example of why today is necessary, without them CTR would be nothing!
