I graduated from Queens University in 2010, and shortly afterwards I took a gap year and travelled in Australia. On my return, I applied for a temporary admin role in the Distribution Department of Pharma Services. I was successful and started that position in July 2012. I remained in that role for approximately 8 months, before moving to a permanent role within the Purchasing Department. I held that position for two years, and then moved into a management level role as Distribution Manager with Almac Pharma Services. In this role I had responsibility for the Distribution function of the business, and was added to the licence as a Responsible Person. In June 2018 I was promoted to Logistics Manager, and now have responsibility for the Distribution, Stores and Purchasing functions; I have responsibility for almost 70 employees within the Logistics Department, as a whole, with six direct reports.<\/p>\n
Almac is a global company with an excellent reputation as a good employer. It is one of the biggest employers in the local area, and I was aware of the opportunities that I could potentially have from working with Almac.<\/p>\n
The people, the culture and the challenges; no two days are the same and throughout my time with Almac I have been exposed to many challenges and areas of the business that have allowed me to develop my skill set.<\/p>\n
Almac is a great company to work for, and given its global reach, there are always opportunities for those that are willing to work hard.<\/p>\n
I have had multiple opportunities for career development, and progression throughout my time in Almac, which has meant I have been able to progress from an initial temporary admin position to a senior management position. Outside of career progression, I have also been afforded the opportunity to travel to different destinations, and engage with people of all nationalities and cultures. Also, I have had opportunities for training to develop my skills, whether that be through the Almac internal training programme \u2018Good to Great\u2019 or through external training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-59923","careers_graduates","type-careers_graduates","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
