Ok, so how have you found working remotely during the past 1-2 years?
At first, it was difficult as we didn’t have any experience working remotely! But we coped and I think the key to how we overcame it was about communication. We made sure that we communicated and discussed what potential struggle points were and what were the best practices that we could enact to make our remote working effective.

And what’s on your list to achieve over the next year?
Number one is always just to keep providing world-class customer service!
How have you seen the company change/grow since you’ve been working here?
Yeah, so I was actually already part of the company when they acquired the office in Worksop, and even more recently they’ve just acquired another brand with Bobbin bikes.
What useful skills have you learned whilst working here?
I’d say time management and respect for others.
Can you remember a memorable facepalm moment at work? (It’s ok we’ve all had them!) How did you grow/improve from this?
Oh yeah – so I started as an entry-level customer service associate and I remember that in my first month here I was doing so well. I was getting, let’s say not great quality scores but I loved what I was doing. So because of this I put extra effort into my work and learned from my mistakes to become a better employee.
Well, something must’ve worked! And why did you decide to apply to Kybotech in the first place?
It was way back in 2014 when I applied to Kybotech for a customer service role. The first thing that attracted me was the benefits that Kybotech offered and, of course, the work schedule.
What’s the best thing about working at Kybotech? Is the company working on improving anything that doesn’t work so well?
The best thing about working in Kybotech is all about the people! The people here will help you grow. The working environment is something that I look forward to even when the work is hard – when you’re with the right people it makes the work easier.
