Meet Andrea
Current Role: Senior Project Support Officer
Joined TerraQuest: July 1989
I’d not long turned 20 years old and I wanted to get into an office environment, having worked as a hairdresser since leaving school. My father had a business in West Bromwich, whose building rented the top floor to a company known as TerraQuest, and the rest is history as they say… In my first role, I was what’s known as a Data Processing Operator, working on systems such as Apricot (fruit names have always been popular it seems).
All my job roles at TerraQuest:
- Data Processing Operator
- Secretary
- Directors Secretary
- Temporary GDS Operator (graphics operator)
- Secretary and PA to the CEO
- Admin support and team leader
- Sales & Marketing co-ordinator
- Administration Officer
- Junior Data Consultant
- Task/Support Manager
- Information Support Manager
Having been with TQ for almost 33 years, I hope I am a testament to having very much enjoyed my time working here. I have seen many people; clients and staff, come and go. Had many great times, site visits, and working away from home and if I hadn’t enjoyed it, I certainly would not still be here. Although there have been many company changes, I have always felt worthy, and the company has always been loyal to me, which is probably why I have always felt the need to be loyal to TQ!
