4. Objective
I have been working for Brightside Roofing for just over 3 years. When I decided to
make the leap from my stable job in the NHS to doing what I do now, I really didn’t know
what I was letting myself in for. I didn’t know the first thing about roofing, which was at
my disadvantage. But I did bring a great deal of other skills that I have developed over
my working life to the table. I have a good business head and I am comfortable with
figures. When I first started at Brightside Roofing, a lot of my time was spent doing
administrative work getting the business off the ground. I have given 100% effort and
have delivered above my own expectations. The first 18 months were all about setting
foundations, gaining financial stability and getting our name out there. The last 18
months has been mostly managing cash flow and supplying the demand. The business
grew very quickly and this brought fresh challenges with it.
The directors recently decided to merge with another company. Unfortunately for me,
they already have a business manager & company secretary. This has left me
redundant and now seeking new employment.
My Performance over the last 3 years:
Brightside Roofing Ltd are now on over 100 different construction companies books.
We are now tendering for and quoting an average of 4 projects per week.
Our company now employ 3 Directors, 2 office staff and up to 15 regular Sub
Contractors.
I have sourced and arranged finance for 5 Company Vehicles.
Company accreditations achieved through training given to staff and written policies.
Secured office and storage premises.
Designed & developed the company website www.brightsideroofingltd.co.uk.
Designed the office & computer filing system along with protocols.
Increased credit on our trade accounts in total over £100,000
Negotiated a business loan for £25k based on my business plan.
Negotiated an overdraft facility of £25k based on balance projections.
Secured a factoring account with Lloyds which allowed us to have up to £60k Credit.
First year turnover £250k, Second year £511k, third year £802k with an operating profit
of £116k
Recovered over £40k of bad debt owed to Brightside Roofing.
Succesfully reclaimed over £10k in retention money.
I played a key role in obtaining contracts in excess of £375k.

“I like a challenge and like to put myself forward for things that are outside my comfort
zone. I’m a firm believer in that the only thing holding us back is ourselves. I’m always
looking to try new things and gain more experiences to push the boundaries of what
I'm capable of. I'm confident in my own ability and would be an asset to any company”
