Describe yourself in a few words:
Fiercely independent, ambitious, considerate and easy going.


Victoria, 26, has been working at ClarkeWood Consulting for just over 18 months. Victoria sources Open Source, Marketing, Business Analyst and Project Management staff mainly in Worcestershire and the West Midlands.


What is your biggest professional achievement?
Setting up ClarkeWood's CSR strategy and helping to raise thousands for local causes over the last 12 months.


As Victoria said, she is a considerate person and this certainly shows in her charity efforts! She has arranged all of our charity events and is always thinking of new, fun and creative ways to make money for local causes. In her latest project, Victoria has used an existing bond with Dolphin Computer Access and a newly formed relationship with Sight Concern to encourage volunteers to help teach visually impaired people to use a computer.

Victoria also supports a charity in Guatemala called 'Education for the Children'  (www.eftc.org.uk/)  She is 'Godparent' to two children out there called Betty and Jorge who are both seven. She recently went out to visit them both in Guatemala!



What is your biggest personal achievement?
Gaining my skippers and diving qualifications


When Victoria isn't hard at work or helping charities she enjoys diving and horse riding. (which is why she has been dubbed the 'posh' one at ClarkeWood!) Victoria also has a big interest in fine Red and White wine and food. Her favourite feasts are seafood - especially shellfish - as well as Cheese and preferred drinks are Tia Maria and Port. When eating out she enjoys the restaurants: Loves in Birmingham and The Jolly Frog in Leintwardine.


How would your colleagues describe you?

Well what can we say about the “Posh bird” in the office?

Victoria believes in the smart appearance, smart mind philosophy of working. She's a professional in dealing with people and treats everybody equal.

Victoria throws herself into everything she does with 100% vigour and as the Companies head of CSR, she is always leading from the front whether it is jumping out of aircraft or other various charity activities we do.

Victoria is a dedicated member of the team BUT she also does know how to party!

So to sum up Victoria – Work hard Play Hard.
