| “I
could hear people talking Lithuanian,” Audra
said. “I realised this was an international
office and I only discovered it because I came
to do a bit of cleaning for an agency.”
EITI Chief
Executive Carolyn Burgess soon recognised how
capable Audra was. “She is so hard working,
helpful and nothing is too much trouble,”
she said. “My office manager discovered
in conversation that Audra had accountancy qualifications
and had been an accounts manager for two years
in Lithuania. Audra said she was willing to study
at home to gain the equivalent qualification here
and she was invited to join our accountancy department
where she is already proving extremely capable.
It is great for us to be able to help someone
who has had such a struggle and is so determined
to succeed.”
As for Audra? “I
have my first permanent job now,” she said.
“Sometimes I can
not believe it yet. It is so exciting to be working
in Howden ” she said. “I am so proud
to be here and part of this firm.”
