June Starters

Last month we introduced five talented faces to our team, all of whom bring initiative, enthusiasm and energy to their role. We wish them the best of luck in their new careers.

Our senior starters this month include Simon Upton and Amanda Colman

Simon’s role is to help develop our client’s use of marketing data produced by LeadBeast.

Amanda Colman joins us as our new Project Office Manager. She has recently been a Project and Portfolio Manager at Anglo American where she implemented a global portfolio management processes across multiple business units and previous to that introduced a formal project management process to Ernst & Young in Southern Africa. Amanda is tasked with improving project delivery and to ensure GForces provides a consistently high quality, memorable project experience to our clients

We aim to recruit the brightest and best talent and our excellent retention rates are a reflection on how carefully we recruit – and then invest in – our staff. All of our colleagues demonstrate a considerable amount of transferable skills including adaptability, problem solving, leadership, commitment, self-awareness, teamwork and interpersonal skills.
