​​​​​​​Meet Jolene, Field Service Manager, FRS

Jolene wasn't always an Field Service Manager. She was a chef for 15 years, working in both restaurants and contract catering.

"For me this job has been very different to being a chef. I get to work my own hours Monday to Friday. Every day is different. One day, I could be descaling a walk-in dishwasher in full PPE, fixing dispenser units, making sure that our solutions flow through the dispensers without any problems. The next day I could be dressed professionally doing food safety and cleaning audits for another customer."

"I love the variety of tasks each day brings!"
