We have a fantastic success story to share with you here at QED. We are so happy to announce the appointment of Michael Hooley in the role of Junior Account Manager! This is a role we were looking forward to fill, and we wanted to find the perfect addition to our sales team to help the company achieve its ambitions and sales growth.

For the first time, we worked with Chorley Jobcentre Plus to help us on our search. This is when they introduced us to Michael. Although Michael had never worked within sales before, we loved everything they were telling us about him, so much so we wanted to meet him to find out more and introduce him to what we do here at QED.

From the very beginning, we knew Michael had all the attributes we wanted to fulfil the role, and immediately after the interview at Jobcentre Plus, we offered him the position of Junior Account Manager!

Working with good people is important to us here at QED, and we knew we had found a great person in Michael.

On his appointment, Michael said:

‘’I couldn’t be more excited to start this new chapter in my career. Coming from a background of working in retail, sales is a brand-new industry to me, but I’m looking forward to bringing my skills and knowledge to this new role and showcase what I can do.’’

‘’When learning about QED, I started to understand their vision for the future and how much they truly value their employees; I instantly wanted to find out more! I can’t thank Ian and the team at Chorley Jobcentre Plus enough for helping to make this opportunity turn into a career for me.’’

From day one, Michael has showed why we wanted him to join the QED family. His personality shines through and he’s already impressing us with how quickly he is learning everything about our customers. His determination and success are great to see – he’s a natural!

QED’s Sales Director, Ian Garden said:

“When I interviewed Michael, I was immediately impressed with his bubbly personality and the confidence he resonated. These are characteristics I look for in our sales team and I knew he would bring something special to QED. Building exceptional relationships with our customers is a core value for us, and I knew Michael had that special trait.’’

’At QED, our ethos is ‘Good People’, and I knew I had found the perfect individual to help drive the company in the direction we envision. I look forward to seeing the high level of success Michael will bring to his role.’’

‘’I would like to thank you to the team at Chorley Jobcentre Plus, especially Sue, who helped to organise our meeting and interview with Michael. You are instrumental in this wonderful hiring success story.’’

On the success of Michael’s appointment, Work Coach at Jobcentre Plus, Sue Wheeler, said:

“As a Work Coach, I recognise that each customer is unique, with their own set of skills and experiences. With this in mind, I tailor my support to reflect this and help them get the job. Once a customer starts work, the support continues, and I do all that I can to make sure that the job is sustainable in the longer term. It is always great to hear when a customer does well and thrives in their new role and Michael is no exception to this.”

The team at Jobcentre Plus went above and beyond throughout this hiring process. Not only did they help Michael secure the interview for the role (and help us fill the role), but they also ensured Michael had enough transportation funds, which is why they agreed to pay for his travel to and from the office for the first month of his employment.

This incredible gesture showcases the effort the team at Chorley Jobcentre Plus adhere to and the support they show each of their customers. This elevated Michael’s confidence and appreciation to the help he has received in his new chapter. Welcome to the QED family Michael!

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Olivia Fishwick in the role of Digital Marketing Assistant.

This is a new role at QED aimed to strengthen the marketing team with a focus on social media, eMarketing and website management.

Olivia started at QED in January 2017 as a Digital Marketing Apprentice: creating social media content, writing blog posts and working on the business’s search engine visibility. In 2018, Olivia really wanted to pursue her makeup business whilst studying Digital Marketing at University. Throughout this 3-year journey, QED supported Olivia and offered her a role to continue as their Digital Marketing Assistant once a week alongside her studies and business.

Fast-forward to 2021, having graduated with a 1st Class Honours Degree and winning the Propeller Enterprise Award, Inspiring Female Student Award and awards for the highest average grades across her course, Olivia is now working full-time at QED. She mainly focuses on delivering high-performing e-mail campaigns, fun and engaging social media content and vibrant design work.

Catherine Seddon, Marketing Manager, said:

“Olivia is very creative and results driven and what makes her different is her understanding that marketing is about developing good relationships with customers and being consistent with the brand image and messaging. The QED brand is all about good people and working in partnership with customers and suppliers, so we all succeed. Olivia has grown and developed over the past few years and after graduating in July I was over the moon when she joined us full time.”

Olivia Fishwick said:

“From designing and launching e-shot campaigns and new product launches, to managing the social media and more, every day at QED is fast-paced and different. Despite this, what really gravitated me back towards the company continually over the past four years is its people. There are not many companies out there that are willing to let you leave to pursue a personal goal; then remain your personal cheerleader whilst pursuing those personal goals and welcome you back with open arms. That to me demonstrates a company that truly values its employees, their aspirations and encourages them to strive for greatness. I will never forget the support this business has and continues to give me.”
