What’s your company and describe your role?
I am a director of Glandore, a family business established in 2001 and leading provider of flexible workspace in Ireland. In my current role I am responsible for business development and overseeing the marketing activities for our operations in Dublin and Belfast.
How long have you held the position?
I have been working directly for the company in sales and business development roles for almost 10 years but have been in my current role since January 2016. I held the position of sales director for over six years.
What are your day-to-day responsibilities?
My day-to-day responsibilities are wide-ranging, including strategy development, HR and team support, marketing & business development activities and - along with my family members - overseeing the interior design of our six properties and future expansion of the business. My primary focus, however, is on Glandore’s community of member companies. I am passionate about creating an environment that inspires and supports their growth and the engagement of their employees.
Through the Glandore Member Network established in March 2016, Glandore hosts a range of social, CSR and educational events in our restaurant Suesey Street, private dining venue No. 25 Fitzwilliam Place and member Clubrooms in Dublin and Belfast to facilitate connections between our members and accelerate their business network.
In addition we launched the Glandore Wellness Programme in March 2017, which comprises monthly webinars, seminars, exercise classes and pamper days with the aim of promoting a healthier workplace and enhancing productivity and engagement.
As a family business we are very much focused on managing a long-term sustainable business and responding to the space and service needs of our member companies as they evolve. Our mission in Glandore is to create a dynamic, supportive and friendly community where each company and individual can flourish. We are committed to offering cost-effective workspace solutions with a focus on flexibility and scaleabilty for companies of any size or stage of growth, from early stage indigenous and international start-ups to SMEs and large, established multi-nationals.
