EMPLOYEE TESTIMONIALS

When you talk to our clients and our own team they will all tell you that it’s the people at Maritz that make the company what it is. Here are the views about working at Maritz from some of our team.

Kim Yorke - Project Manager

I previously worked for Maritz for 2 years as a Project Coordinator, I then left to go travelling for a year, and when I arrived back and was offered the opportunity to come back to Maritz, I didn’t give it a second thought! It’s a fun place to be, the people are great, and they give me fantastic support to further my career.

Ainsley Procter - Group Operations Manager, Automotive

I have been at Maritz for 10 years now. I started as a Project Executive and have been promoted and supported to my current role as Group Operations Manager, Automotive. I have been fortunate to spend time managing Participant Care and Aviation; a Pharmaceutical account for over 2 years, as well as managing a number of large automotive events (the largest being for 15,000 delegates). I have worked with great colleagues along the way which have made every challenge fun and enjoyable - I wouldn’t still be here otherwise!

Monique Walker - Business Improvement Manager

I joined Maritz in 2000 as a Project Coordinator in Project Support and worked my way up through the ranks to Senior Administrator, Deputy Team Leader, Project Leader and finally, Group Project Manager. After working at Maritz for 5 years I went on maternity leave after having twins in 2006.

I had been away for almost a year when I was offered the opportunity to come back part-time - which was fantastic! I now work 2.5 days a week as a Group Project Manager and am mum for the rest of the time. Maritz have been hugely supportive and flexible with me as a parent and throughout my career - so it has all worked out great!

Lisa McKenzie - Group Operations Manager

I have worked at Maritz for 18 years with a variety of roles across Operations and Project Management. Having started as an Administrator I worked my way through operational roles before moving into Project Management. Maritz is good at recognising and fostering transferable skills and I have now been given the opportunity to be the Operations Manager within our IT department. It's a terrific place to work and I always seem to be learning new things and facing new challenges, which is why I’ve stayed so long!

Mike Parrott - Enterprise Account Manager

For me, working at Maritz brings enthusiasm and variety to every day working life. Having taken a short career move from Maritz in 2005/6, to further my understanding and involvement in the fields of live event and video production, my return to the Account Management team for my 10th year at Maritz further cemented my belief that it is the energy and professionalism of the Maritz people that makes this such a great place to work.

Andrew Sanderson - Facilities Manager

When I joined Maritz 13 years ago, little did I realise that I would end up where I am today. I joined Maritz as the Computer Network Manager in 1994, just as the company was expanding into other buildings and locations in the South. In 1998 I was asked to put together a Facilities Team to look after the property portfolio and I have been in this role ever since. It’s terrific to work for a company that really cares about the people that work for them, as we are constantly working on projects to improve the facilities offered to the staff.
