Our People

I started at VEKA plc in 2005 as a Modern Apprentice, in 2011 I left the company to go on maternity leave and spent time working on the off-shore wind farms up in Barrow in Furness. I then returned to VEKA in 2013 and have since worked towards and achieved my CIPD level 3 and 5 qualifications and then recently completed my Level 7 qualification in June 2019 to graduate in October 2019.I love my job.  I love it for the people and I love that each day is different. 

I joined the Company in 1998 as a HR/Finance Modern Apprentice.Following the completion of my professional studies with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in 2007, I took on the role of Human Resources Officer and more recently developed into the role of HR Business Partner.As HR Business Partners we provide HR support across all areas within the business and drive the organisation towards meeting our key objectives.

After graduating with a business degree from university in Aberdeen I joined the company as a graduate trainee within the HR department in 2001. Going on then to study for my post grad CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel Development). I now lead the Company’s HR strategy and HR teams, managing HR, Payroll, H&S, Compliance, Site Liaison and Cleaning teams. I'm also actively involved in much of our community, school and CSR support.
