Today we post our latest Notes from the Boardroom written by a woman who’s overseen tremendous success and growth for her company, with the added bonus of achieving it all in a sector many still regard as a man’s world.
Since taking over as MD of BT Fleet ten years ago, (making her the only woman in charge of a fleet management company in Britain) Janet Entwistle has transformed the company from BT’s in-house transport function into a recognised market leader managing the fleets for a host of household names.
On average the company has seen 50 per cent growth or more, every year, since 2003 and now has a turnover of £200m.
Exclusively for FMWF’s Notes from the Boardroom, Janet explains how she’s achieved that consistent level of expansion and offers her advice on how to find and woo new clients and achieve consistent and profitable growth.
Notes from the Boardroom is FMWF’s exclusive business-based guest column written by successful and inspirational women who have already risen through the ranks.
Previous blogs have been penned by John Lewis’ Commercial Direct Andrea O’Donnell and Christie NHS Trust boss Caroline Shaw.
Andrea revealed how the retail group won and maintains its hard-earned reputation for customer service and offered advice on how your business might achieve similar results. While Caroline gave insights into how she’s used her experience as a midwife to rise through the ranks and take the helm of the entire hospital trust.
