A Year In Review

Issue 64

Michael Grahamslaw talks to Cheryl Spears, Sales Director at Lucid Technology Solutions to reflect on 2020 and look ahead to 2021.

In a sentence, how would you describe

the year 2020?

Very strange and not like any other.

How has your company adapted to the

working through the Covid 19 pandemic?

We have been very lucky in working within a

sector where people have needed our help so we

have been very much business as usual with some

of the team working at home and the remainder

in the office in a socially distanced environment.

How have you found remote working and

how has this affected your team?

Some have been fine but working on your own

can be isolating and I have missed interaction.

Others have struggled also and have enjoyed

returning to the office. The important thing has

been to support each other at what has been a

very surreal time.

What are you currently working on?

We have continued to establish our Worktraq

Intelligence system which we have demoed to

companies throughout the region.

This app enables to you better manage your team

and their daily jobs/task by allocating work, jobs

and tasks and also ensuring key information is

captured for each task.The app also provides real

information on events such as job start and job

completion. It is ideal for construction and waste

companies.

Which regional businesses have you

admired in their response to tbe pandemic?

Difficult to pinpoint one. I think everyone has

been heroes for keeping going.

Whats the best piece of advice you’ve

been given this year?

Think before you act!

Have you developed any positive habits

as a result of the lockdown?

I’m sadly probably eating and drinking more but

at least my washing basket is always empty!

Has 2020 been the toughest challenge

of your career?

Pleasingly no. We have had our best ever year as a

business which is so heartening.

What will 2021 bring for yourself and

your company?

Hopefully more diversification and further

growth. On a personal level I hope to enjoy new

training and learn new skills.
