Director
What’s your role at Bailey?
I am one of the owners of Bailey and I am mainly involved with operations and finance, however I do get involved in all other areas of the business – I’m very hands on.
Take us through a typical day at Bailey for you…
A typical day is one that is very varied! From emails to calls to meetings, with a lot of travel thrown in, not to mention trying to keep calm about things beyond my control like traffic and flight delays!
What’s your favourite thing about working for Bailey?
It’s so rewarding when we deliver a stunning looking building to all stakeholders’ satisfaction. I love the humour and laughter of colleagues and working with my family.
What’s the most challenging aspect of your job and how do you overcome it?
Keeping in touch with the team and having my finger on the pulse while being away a lot can be a challenge. I overcome this by utilising video conferencing and other modern communication, although it’s an art I am still very much learning!
