It's that time of the year where discussions begin around 2008 Contract and the atmosphere around the office feels tense!
We have a month to pull together all of the fixed costs that Cadbury Trebor Bassett face with accurate reasoning ready for scrutiny at the end of August.
This means that my organisation skills and time planning will be tested heavily and I have just sent numerous invites out to all the cost centre managers I liaise with to ensure I get enough time to speak to them before the deadline.
Tasks like this mean that you need to motivate cost centre managers to scrutinise their costs and ensure that their Contract for 2008 is solid and can withstand any scrutiny people throw at it. My role is to support them, ensure they meet the deadline and challenge them if their reasoning seems incorrect.
Throw in the fact I have just been told I'm moving to Dublin to do the Ireland Commercial role in September and my head's reeling! There are always new challenges and changes that you need to quickly adapt to and strive to be the best at.
But I definitely enjoy being surrounded by people that expect the best and being challenged daily!
