Get to know Useon Extrusion Europe’s Sales Director, Tara

What is your job role at UEE?

As sales director, I wear lots of interchanging hats. But in a nutshell, I’m responsible for strategy and overall revenue growth of UEE through 3 key pillars:

1.Existing customer retention, 2.New business recruitment 3.Equipment/Technology advancements & innovation.

What do you like most about your job at UEE?

Lots of things, but I mostly find the manufacturing industry completely fascinating. Items I use everyday and often take for granted, go through many processes to even become those things we have the privilege of using everyday

Biggest fear?

I have an irrational fear of spiders, followed closely by flying

Biggest motivation?

I’m driven everyday to provide a great life for my son…hopefully making him proud of his mama’s achievements

If you could have a career in anything, what would it be?

I’ve had it, I was/still am an interior designer and ran my own company for over 5 years. My passion for interior design is crazy, but my life priorities have significantly changed since becoming a mummy and a career/lifestyle change was necessary.

What’s one thing you’re really good at?

Building compelling customers relationships. Top tip: never ever underestimate the fact people buy from people, no matter how good/what your product is, be authentically you.

Whats one thing you wish you were better at?

Getting to the point faster in all scenarios, sometimes I can go around the houses 🙂

What’s the best place you’ve travelled to?

Vegas, genuinely had the best week of my life there with my friends. What happened in those 7 days would make for a great movie!

Favourite food?

Has to be a beef Sunday roast, Yorkshire puddings and thick gravy!

Who inspires you?

My dad…and i’m not just saying this because he’s my boss haha. He had a tough childhood, skipped school, ended up with no qualifications…but desperately wanted a better life for himself and his future family. He’s worked tirelessly all his life to achieve just that, and is the true definition of hard work, drive, determination (and not taking yourself too seriously along the way) pays off.
