A big welcome to Elena Blake, who has joined Jaguar Contract Cleaning as our new Trainee Operations Manager. 🐆
This is an important step for Jaguar.
For the first time, we’re bringing someone from outside the family into the operational side of the business, with the aim of developing her into a key part of our management team as we continue to grow.
And it all came about through the power of networking.
Sophie met Elena’s mum, Katy Sherry, at a networking event. They hit it off, arranged a 1-2-1 and, during that conversation, Sophie discovered that Katy’s daughter was looking for something very different from a traditional 9-5 office role.
She wanted something hands-on, varied and operational.
That sounded very much like Jaguar life.
Fast forward to Elena’s first week and there certainly hasn’t been much sitting behind a desk!
She has been out visiting our teams, meeting clients, learning our sites and getting stuck into cover work alongside Sophie, with some very early starts and late finishes thrown in for good measure.
It has been a full-on introduction to commercial cleaning operations, but Elena has taken everything in her stride.
She has already shown herself to be hardworking, enthusiastic, quick to learn and, most importantly, willing to roll her sleeves up and get involved.
Over the coming months, Elena will continue learning every part of the operational side of Jaguar, building on the strong foundations already in place and helping us create even more capacity within the business as we grow.
We’re incredibly excited to see where this journey takes her.
Welcome to the Jaguar family, Elena.
