Kate Neiland
@kateneiland
I streamline operations, safety compliance, hardware testing, and digital brand engagement.
What I'm looking for
At Savant Limited, I manage reception and office administration while developing health and safety policies, conducting risk assessments, testing hardware, and running social media content and campaigns.
I've led busy customer-facing operations at Aspire Inns and Travelex, managing rotas, budgets, cash, stock, customer service, and team performance. At Aspire Inns, I helped reduce food costs by £400 per week and supported themed events that achieved over £15,000 gross per week.
At Pearson VUE, I prepared and invigilated tests for up to 120 candidates daily, maintained a 0% error rate, and stopped 13 impersonators in nine months. I also stepped into the manager role at short notice while maintaining strict security procedures.
I've built a product business from development through sale, handling orders, content, website development, and finance independently. I'm continuing my Bachelor's in Cyber Security while bringing a practical, proactive approach to efficiency, safety, customer experience, and brand presence.
