Employee Spotlight – Damien Atkinson
Our employees are the backbone of the Outsource Group, consistently delivering exemplary service and security to our customers. Today, we’re excited to post the next in our “Employee Spotlight” series with Damien Atkinson, where we highlight the incredible work our staff do to drive Outsources’ success.
🌟 Meet Damien, our indispensable Project Coordinator. Not only does he play a crucial role in our projects, but he also brings joy and laughter to the team. As a founding member of our social committee, S.P.A.R.K, Damien is always the first to step up and organize social and charity events.
We took some time out to ask Damien some questions on his vital role at Outsource Group:
1. What is your job title?
Jack of all trades, master of none! or Project Co-Ordinator
2. How long have you worked for the Outsource Group?
Seven and a half years.
3. What is your favourite thing about working for the Outsource Group?
PIZZA!!!, only joking…it’s the people for sure. I have made great friends for life throughout my Outsource journey. Also, the flexibility that is offered to you, nothing is ever a problem for Outsource, if you need to work from home at any time, it is always granted.
4. What was your motivation for picking the career you now work in?
I worked in retail for 13 years when I left education. Late 2016 was the moment I decided to explore other opportunities and thankfully I found Outsource. I initially joined Outsource as Sales Admin, then worked my way up to the Project Co-Ordinator role late 2019. I am passionate about pursuing a career in Project Management and hope to gain as much experience and qualifications in my current role to achieve that goal.
5. What is the most rewarding thing about your job?
Definitely working with so many of my colleagues from different departments. I am a very positive guy and love to make those around me smile/laugh. I can’t forget about the social events and especially the 20th anniversary of Outsource trip to Palma in September 2022. I have been very lucky to be working for such a great company. Bring on the 25th celebrations😊
6. Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?
Ideally, I hope I will have progressed with the project management goal and contributing to the company’s continued success.
