New Year New Faces

One of the best things about our work is the number of people we get the pleasure of meeting, working with and learning from. We’re constantly inspired and in awe of such incredible individuals, albeit customers, clients or co-workers. We would love to be able to celebrate each and every person that impacts our lives positively, but the printers may have something to say about how colossal that edition would be!

Instead, we’ve hand-selected some gems from one particular office, Monument Promotions, who are making themselves known over in Swindon. We spoke with Matt Nicholson, the Managing Director, who described 2022 as a year that brought lots of team development with a real defining of their business values and what they stand for. They’re proud to have built strong bonds and a culture of respect and honesty, rather than gossip.

Amelia Barklay

Having approached the role with so much enthusiasm, Amelia, only 19 years of age, is known for having such a positive, student mentality. She’s not only willing to listen and learn but actively invests herself in getting better.

We asked Amelia whether there were any aspects of her business style she’s had to work on, to which she gave an insightful reply.

“I found I naturally had a softer tone of voice and wanted to work on this to come across more confident in conversationI’ve massively improved and it’s definitely helped with my all-round confidence too.”

Preet

Singh

Preet wouldn’t mind us saying that he didn’t walk into Monument Promotions as a naturalborn seller, he took his time, worked hard and observed those around him to become one of the top performers in the office.

Matt praises him for showing such great leadership qualities, with training and education as his biggest aspirations. When asked what his focus was currently, Preet told us:

“... to make sure I am the right example for my team and they have a good role model to look up to.”

We love that - Who could ask for more from their mentor?

Edward Keller

As one of the high performers in the sales department, Matt was keen for us to speak with Edward, or Eddie as he likes to be called, to see how sales can be a career for everyone. Previously working as a Head Chef, Eddie states how the skills area he initially needed to improve upon was a social one.

“I was a head chef before this so speaking to lots of people was not my thing to begin with. Speaking with as many as we do has really helped my social skills; reading body language and coaching others”.

When asked why he felt he was suited to the charity partners we work with, Eddie opened up.

“I’m working with Great Ormond Street Hospital, a cause I’m very passionate about as they have helped my family in the past. I know the hardship of finding somewhere to stay in London to be close to your loved one”

Justin Cooke

A natural hard worker, Justin radiates work ethic, whilst also adding lots of fun and positivity to the office. He’s a great energy to be around, and when we asked what works for him within his leadership role, he said:

“Really getting to know your Brand Ambassadors, especially how they learn best. Everyone is very different, so what works for one person may not be the best way to coach another”

Teamwork makes the dream work, as they say, so we wanted to know what qualities Justin values in his team members.

“An unstoppable, “can do” attitude, and the drive and willingness to learn and take advice”.

That sounds a lot like someone we know, hey Justin!

We will never tire of learning about people, or from them. Getting the opportunity to watch someone achieve and grow through their passions is different every time. We’re so proud of every goal hit, every dream fulfilled and every skill acquired - Let’s see what these four have in store for us!
