When did you start at NewDay?
2nd January 2018
What were you doing before you came to NewDay?
Head of Partnerships and Business Development at Vanquis Bank.
How would you describe what you do at NewDay in one sentence?
Find, sign and on-board our new co-brand credit and payment partners.
What was your first impression walking through the doors on your first day?
NewDay is a very ambitious and energetic company that’s going places. It has new, bespoke offices more reminiscent of a technology company than financial services. And plenty of good, friendly people who make settling in easy.
What’s the best thing about working at NewDay?
Lots of great people from different backgrounds, who are willing to get stuck in and find ways to overcome problems. Everyone is pulling in the same direction, being creative to find solutions to get the most out of the significant investment the company is making to power the next phase of growth.
What would you say to someone considering a role at NewDay?
If you want to make a difference, get lots of variety and to move quickly, it’s the place for you. If you’re looking to keep your head down and want a quiet work life, maybe look elsewhere.
Tell us something you know now that you didn’t before starting at NewDay.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how much opportunity there is for clever finance and payment solutions within retail that make things simple and easy for customers.
Tell us an interesting fact about yourself.
Before I started a career in financial services I tried (and failed!) to become a professional golfer.
