What attracted you to a career at SOGO?

All of my previous roles have involved customer service in a variety of different environments. I like to think that experience has put me in good stead to deal with any situation. The main aim of my previous role was to source fleet opportunities for a manufacturer, however I liked the idea of working with multiple brands which is why flexi leasing appealed to me. To put it simply, the business model. I took the interview with SOGO with no real aspiration to leave my previous role, however once I sat down with our Managing Director Karl Howkins and Sales Director Lee O'Connell and they showed me what they believed SOGO would become I knew I wanted to be apart of the journey. I had some friends and family calling me mad for joining a new business start up during a pandemic but I'm glad I took that risk and I don't plan on looking back.

What are your career aspirations at SOGO?

To continue to help SOGO grow as a business whilst also making a name for myself within the automotive industry just as many of my colleagues already have.

What do you find engaging in your role at SOGO?

Everyday poses new tasks/challenges which keeps me on my toes, I've been at SOGO now just over a year and I can honestly say no day is the same.

What is the most enjoyable aspect of working at SOGO?

It would definitely have to be the great people I work with, we have a great team here at SOGO all willing to work hard for each other.
