We are so excited to announce the hire of our wonderful Operations Manager Ashleigh. We sat down to ask her some questions to help you get to know her a little better.
- Who is someone you admire, and why?
My mum - She has always inspired me with her strength, resilience, and unmatched work ethic.
- Do you have any skills or talents that most people don’t know about?
I love a DIY project! I am very handy with a hammer, drill, and screwdriver - my latest project was designing and creating a busy board for my little girl's first birthday.
I am a qualified hairdresser. When I left school I didn’t know what I wanted to do so I fell into hairdressing but it was never my passion. I always gravitated towards the people management side even back when I managed the salon and training team.
- Flashback to when you were 10 years old. What do you want to be when you grow up?
I wanted to be a police officer… mainly because I love problem-solving and because I’m nosey.
- Finish this sentence. On Sunday mornings, you can usually find me…
Having breakfast with my little girl Sienna and partner Alex at our local cafe.
- Name three words you think your colleagues would use to describe you.
Organised - supportive - dedicated
- What’s a goal you have for yourself that you want to accomplish in the next year?
My goal is to have a very healthy work-life balance so I am able to excel at work and also as a mum to my little girl. I’d love for both aspects of my life to be thriving.
