I joined ADS in 2016 after working for nearly 18 years for a large aerospace systems company in France and the UK.
I began work supporting the business development of ADS member companies, working with the Department of International Trade to promote UK companies for export opportunities.
Now I am the Programme Director for the NATEP Programme, supporting UK SMEs through a programme of funding and mentoring.
ADS offers an excellent working experience, with experienced and talented colleagues from a variety of backgrounds and sectors. The culture is one of trust and employees are empowered to provide insight and opinions across a wide range of subjects.
I have now been working at ADS Group (and one of its pre-merger predecessors) since April 1986 – and I LOVE my job! Every single day is different, and I do not know from one day to the next, what queries are going to be raised with me by any of the stakeholders with whom we have contact.
My colleagues at ADS Group are fabulous and enormously helpful, with a real team spirit, and a willingness to go above and beyond to help one another, and our Members, with their highly diverse interests and activities.
They often say that “variety is the spice of life”, and mine is so varied that I LOVE my job. I count myself to be so lucky to be working here.
PS – I also LOVE my job!
