Importance of people skills
Harj’s career with Newey and Eyre developed rapidly and successfully. He was promoted into his first management position at the Loughborough branch after only two and a half years. Harj says: “I enjoyed the role of branch management because it requires a good ‘all-rounder’ with good people skills.” Further advancements over the next few years led to his promotion firstly to Area Sales Manager for the East and North Midlands region and then, more recently to Area Director.
Harj says
“My career to date offers a good example of how the Electrical Wholesaling industry offers many opportunities to develop your career rapidly, as well as working in an industry that gives excellent customer service. Of course, this sometimes demands putting extra work in – often outside of normal working hours!”
