Carmen Chipaila
Production Executive -
Britannicus Stone
Nominated by Simon Hunter, Director
Carmen has made an outstanding contribution to the development of Britannicus Stone. In two short years she has fundamentally grasped the importance of the company mission and markets with style, passion and knowledge, continually growing in confidence. With a background in main contracting and after-care service, her skill set has developed to encompass the personable approach of Britannicus, spending longer with each client to ascertain their requirements and offer a suite of compelling options. She makes light of a complex quotation system, her sampling is speedy and always accompanied with well written support documents. She has travelled extensively with the company, both within UK and abroad, and is always well received. Her thirst for greater knowledge has seen her complete the first year of an international business degree with three more to go. At the end of the first year she was given the award for the highest achieving first year student.
