I am looking to take on a new challenge at this point in my career. My current role, although very good in terms of salary and working environment, doesn't really provide the challenge that it once did. This is because all aspects of the job are well under control, primarily through me working hard over time to listen to what the Directors require and putting systems & schedules in place to provide this.
