I joined Assurity Consulting in September 2015 as an Apprentice Consultant, stepping into a completely new industry. Over the years I’ve built strong technical knowledge and practical experience, progressing to a fully qualified Consultant and then being promoted to Senior Consultant in January 2021. Most recently, I have been promoted to a Consultancy Services Deputy Manager, this is a role that allows me to support the wider team while contributing to the development and delivery of our services.
During my apprenticeship, I completed a business administration qualification and the NEBOSH General Certificate, giving me the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification while developing hands‑on experience. Since then, I have expanded my expertise further by completing the NEBOSH National Certificate in Fire Safety & Risk Management and two CIEHF‑accredited Display Screen Equipment courses. I am trained to carry out Workplace Environmental Assessments, Health and Safety assessments, Life Safety Fire Risk Assessments and DSE assessments.
My role has taken me to buildings across the country (and Europe!), from Manchester to Maidenhead, allowing me to explore places I may never have visited otherwise. I’ve worked in some truly fascinating environments, including Google HQ, Warner Music, and the United Grand Lodge of England. Having access to such unique buildings is one of the aspects of my job that I enjoy most.
The best part of working at Assurity Consulting is the people. The office has always been a welcoming and positive environment, with colleagues who are generous with their knowledge and always willing to support me. Their expertise has played a huge part in my development.
Throughout my time at Assurity Consulting, I’ve learnt how to draw on the strengths of my colleagues to broaden my own knowledge, how to identify and recommend improvements within buildings, and how to communicate these clearly through site‑specific reports. I’ve also developed strong time‑management skills and confidence in communicating with customers. Stepping into a management role has further strengthened my ability to support others, coordinate work effectively, and contribute to the continued success of our consultancy services.
