Pam Wainman
Director,
Pam Wainman started her career in
a Freight Forwarding Office working for a Dutch owned Company as a
Receptionist. Very eager to learn new skills in other departments Transport
& Imports/Exports, moved quickly through the ranks, working for the company
for several years in their Northampton office when the company re-located. Then
later took up a position back in Hull for a Shipping Agent looking after the
Hapag-Lloyd Indonesian Agency.
My
early key to success was working with older experienced colleagues always keen
to help, listen and learn. Along with this and working within a Dutch and
German organisation gave me a totally different aspect & working ethic,
which I feel developed my business knowledge and attitude to being a hard
worker always giving 100% to the job no matter how big or small, and being very
much appreciated and acknowledged by all my colleagues from the Top to the
bottom.
After
leaving Shipping & Forwarding to have a family I later took up a position
as a PA to a family owned local Turf Accountant in an administration role and
further expanded my knowledge working on accounts and payroll - another
different direction but a very enjoyable and varied role.
Whilst
in this position the opportunity arose to go and work for a family friend to
run his Print Company (Jadan Press) as he was emigrating to Australia with his
family. Two years after running the Company I bought Jadan Press Limited from
the previous owner.
Having
done a five year part time business degree in 1998, undertaken to fulfil a
dream I never attempted when leaving school due to lack of confidence. Gaining
my degree in 2003 to owning a business that I originally had no experience or
knowledge in would have been something I could only think about in my wildest
dreams.
I’ve
met many interesting people along (still on) my journey and have a vast
knowledge of Business and within different industries, loving a challenge &
from an early age been told by my Mum there is no such word as Can’t…
The
great Walt Disney once said ‘All our dreams can
come true, if we have the courage to pursue them’
