Huge congratulations to PowTechnology’s Nicole Lowe, on becoming our Operations Manager!! Nicole joined us fifteen years ago, as an Office Administrator and progressed through Office Manager to Customer Relations Manager, gaining extensive knowledge and hands-on experience of every department. This vast understanding of our customers and procedures, supported by her Prince2® accreditation for Agile Project Management, makes her the perfect Operations Manager!
Nicole told us:
“I joined the business at just 18! The last 15 years have seen incredible growth and change … lots of new colleagues, incredible IIoT tech developed for ever new sectors and year on year bests in enquiry levels, projects, new digital transformation solutions and sales!
I was fortunate to start my career with a business that has always valued me and given me opportunities for personal and professional growth. My roles have been incredibly varied and it’s been fascinating to gain the knowledge and skills needed as we expanded.
Amongst other new responsibilities, I’ve been facilitating our multi-departmental review and planning meetings and helping maintain our crucial ISO 9001 and ISO27001 accreditations.
PowTechnology supported me to achieve my Prince2® Practitioner Certificate in Agile Project Management. One huge benefit of this structured, logical and customer-focused methodology is that the skills are highly transferable to general business management. They’ve helped enormously in achieving my ultimate goal of ensuring that PowTechnology maintains a great reputation for quality and service and customers come back for more!
As my skill set has grown, I’ve taken on elements of project management, facilities management, production scheduling, liaison with key customers and suppliers and even HR, so I’m delighted to be recognised and promoted to Operations Manager!
My ‘management style’ has always been collaborative. I believe it’s essential to understand and balance the needs of colleagues in different functions and achieve an outcome that works for everyone.
We’re so busy at the moment! One of my first major projects is to manage the seamless installation of a new mezzanine floor, which will double our production area! Exciting times … and I do love a challenge!
Thank you to the amazing PowTechnology team for all the opportunities and support over the years! There is an amazing vibe at PowTechnology and that comes from the people!”
Dave Oakes, PowTechnology CEO added:
“Nicole has been an important part of PowTechnology since she joined us back in October 2011. Business is ultimately about people, and Nicole embodies the qualities that help us achieve our success. She began in our finance and admin team, where her great attitude and attention to detail quickly stood out. As the business evolved, she consistently stepped up, taking on more responsibility, supporting colleagues and becoming a trusted go‑to person across the company.
Over the years, Nicole’s role has become central to project management, customer and supplier coordination, recruitment and training, as well as ISO9001 and ISO27001 commitments. She has a calm, capable manner that brings people together and she always strives to make things better for our team and our customers. We’re delighted to reward that and promote her to Operations Manager!
Well done Nicole! You’ve earned this through hard work, professionalism and a genuine passion for helping the business succeed!”
