Our people
Meet Carol Fergus, Director, Global Travel Manager
“I don't think I have ever worked anywhere where I've been given so much autonomy. I was brought in to develop and broaden the global travel program and today we have a service and team to be really proud of. My hard work has not gone unnoticed and lead to my being promoted to a Director, where my role and responsibilities have expanded.
There has not been one day that I’ve felt that I’ve been judged negatively for either being a woman, or a person of colour in this position. My performance has only ever been reviewed and assessed in line with my ability to be able to carry out the task. If people feel empowered, then you get more motivated individuals, who feel confident to bring their best self to work. This creates a ripple effect and ultimately leads to a better customer experience.”
