      Promoted into this position with the main objective of transforming the NOC and prepare for upcoming company expansions. I rebuilt a highly skilled Technical Support Team within the UK HQ in Harrogate, while building strong links with offshore resource, creating one unified multi-disciplined Technical Team providing a 24/7 service in both timezones. This role includes (but not limited to) management and development of technical engineers in the UK and India, successful integration activities following company merges, systems and process development to allow the most streamline service for customers, supplier and SLA management, all while building key relationships with customer stake holders to develop the service we provide.

Transition duties include internal system developments, integration of new services / products for support as well as the introduction and ownership of new bespoke / high profile accounts into BAU Operations. My team carry out critical incident management, managing the technical teams involved while providing customers with structured updates, and problem management, investigating major incidents and repeat issues bringing a full resolution.

The aim of this role was to transition the business from multiple Service Desks (and multiple systems) into one single function. Key achievements include the successful transition of 1000+ customers and their services into HP Service Management systems with 100% customer satisfaction.Due to my dedication and attention to detail, I received the 'Employee of the Year' award in December 2014, which is a huge surprise and a great honour to be selected for such a prestigious award.
