Kim Conway-Birks OF ISLINGTON MOTOR GROUP SHARES HER OCTOBER PLANS!
Today we’re talking to Kim Conway-Birks who is the Commercial Sales Executive at Trowbridge Ford Transit Centre.
What’s coming up for your business/organisation in Q4? Milestones, events, anniversaries?
We are looking forward to our continued support to Trowbridge Carnival and taking part in the procession on Saturday 21st October.
October represents several awareness months, please say if any are relevant to YOU or YOUR BUSINESS OR ORGANISATION & PLEASE TELL US WHY?
Breast cancer awareness month; black history month; ADHD awareness month.
Are you doing anything in October for charity or for a community or volunteer project?
We are joining in with Breast Cancer Now’s wear It Pink Day on Friday 20th October with the entirety of Islington Motor Group getting involved.
We are taking part in a corporate challenge for Trowbridge Future by raising £100 to go towards their new premises.
Did you know October 10 is World Mental Health Day – how important is this subject in your business and in your life? Why:
My own mental health is something I have really struggled with in the past and I think it SO important to take time for yourself and to get the work / life balance right for you. It’s always okay to not be okay but always make sure you talk to the people around you for support.
Some ‘quirky’ moments this month are:
- *National Poetry Day – Oct 6
- *World Handbag Day – Oct 10
- *Do Something Nice Day – Oct 5
- *Apple Day – Oct 21
- *Pumpkin Day – Oct 26
If any of these resonate with you – tell us why? Do you have a huge collection of handbags for example? Do you love or hate pumpkins?
I didn’t know World Handbag Day was a thing, I have a bigger than necessary handbag collection if there is such a thing so that’s getting marked in the diary straight away!
I really enjoy getting into the Halloween spirit and carving pumpkins with my partner, in fact I am quite proud of some of my previous creations.
Clocks go back this month – an extra hour in bed? How do you see ‘time’ in your business or organisation.
Time is important as a sales executive as it helps build good rapport with customers ensuring the best outcomes for them and their business.
Have you got any services or special offers you’d like to mention?
0% finance available on huge selection of commercial vehicles as well as deposit contributions and £500 trade in allowance
And finally, tell us one thing you love about the autumn/winter months?
My favourite thing about Autumn is cosy nights in with my partner, watching films with a glass of mulled wine.
