Nearly 25 years after joining Park Electrical Distributors as an Accounts Apprentice, Finance Director, Bridget Harold, has welcomed the latest recruit to follow in her footsteps.
Park, which is the largest independent electrical wholesaler in the North East, has a long history of growing its workforce, with apprentices operating across the business.
However, the appointment of Paul Dixon, 25, as Apprentice Accounts Administrator, is particularly significant for Bridget who joined the company as an Accounts Apprentice, eventually rising to Finance Director and board member in 2007.
Bridget, from Stanley, County Durham, manages a seven-strong finance and accounts team for the £20 million turnover business, which has its head office on the Team Valley, Gateshead, with branches in Sunderland, Newcastle and Teesside. In addition to its wholesale operation, Park has four specialist divisions – lighting design, energy solutions, building technologies and industrial services.
