Having worked for Carillion and Assa Abloy UK, she is experienced in many areas of the industry including fleet management, customer services and sales.

Most recently Vicki worked for Alpro Hardware, where she was area sales manager and technical support advisor for the Midlands and south west, selling manual and electrical hardware to distribution and aluminium manufacturers and fabricators.
