Jo - Communications Coordinator - Client Solutions

Before joining Personal Group Jo was studying for her A-Levels.

I have worked for Personal Group since 2008 and I feel very lucky to have gained the opportunity to be a part of the Personal Group ‘family’.

I started off in Sales Administration. This involved providing direct sales support, booking hotels and travel, being responsible for maintaining hotel budgets and producing and processing all paperwork required for the sales team.

After 18 months in this role, I wanted to continue to progress my role within the company. I had learnt a lot about the job, as well as the company as a whole, and I was ready for new challenges. The vacancy arose for a Communications Assistant, I went for interviews, and I got the job! I find my new role varied, challenging and holds lots of responsibility.

The best thing about my job is interacting with our clients, and learning all of the different aspects about the role. I am still learning new things all the time and I would like to get to a position where I am a senior member of the department. We produce all of the literature for our clients, from the benefit books to promotional material, so there is never a dull moment.

Personal Group is a close-knit, friendly company, everyone knows everyone else. One minute you could be talking to the managing director, the next talking to the post lady. That is what makes Personal Group unique.
