Adele Allison – Business Support Manager – Hydro-X Group

Please could you introduce yourself and your job role at Hydro-X?

I started with Hydro-X in December 2017 as Fleet Co-ordinator, and very soon after I began to take on other roles such a facilities, IT and anything adhoc. I then passed fleet on and became Business support co-ordinator learning more of the sales order CRM side of the business and many other aspects of the whole Business Support team functions. In October 2020 I was then given the promotion to Admin manager (title now Business support manager) where I now manage the admin team, facilities, and anything else to support the business needs.

There are many moments I could pick, however just knowing that I work hard and that anyone at Hydro-X can come to me for support if they’re not sure who or what they need makes me proud.
