Angela Christie

With over 30 years of hands-on experience running operations, managing finances and leading teams, I thrive on keeping things organised, solving problems and making sure everything runs smoothly. I genuinely enjoy building strong relationships with suppliers and customers, and I take real pride in getting the detail right, whether that is processing orders, maintaining accurate records in Sage or ensuring compliance is up to scratch. I am proficient in Sage accounting, Microsoft Office and Peninsula HR software, and I have a real passion for improving processes and helping teams work better together.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my enthusiasm and practical experience into an international commercial environment where I can make a real contribution.
