With Stancold’s continued growth, we’re proud to welcome new faces who enhance our expertise and bring valuable new viewpoints to the business. Say hello to our Trainee Project Coordinator, Libby Pugh.
Libby has unique professional experience that lends itself to her role at Stancold. She previously worked at an animal research farm in Wales, and although she joined in an admin and HR capacity, her responsibilities soon grew far beyond that.
‘My manager left the organisation a few months into me being there,’ says Libby, ‘so I stepped up in multiple ways to help fill the void and assist other departments.’
The farm took on contract work, often with pharmaceutical companies, to perform important research.
During her time on the farm, Libby supported multiple departments, taking on responsibilities including supplier management, HR administration, website management, facilities coordination, supporting the lab team and assisting with animal care.
Before this role, Libby worked in an administration role for an underfloor heating company, a trade Stancold often collaborates with on industrial freezer projects. She also gained early exposure to the construction industry by supporting her dad on plumbing and maintenance projects across Wales and the south of England.
After two fulfilling years at the animal research farm, Libby was ready for a fresh challenge. The Operations Administrator role at Stancold immediately stood out, with many of the required skills reflecting her experience across different sectors.
‘Many of the people I’d worked closely with had moved on, and I was ready for a change,’ says Libby. ‘The role at Stancold was a chance to try something new and build on my previous experience’
In her first months at Stancold, Libby moved from Operations Administrator to Trainee Project Coordinator, highlighting both her proactive approach and the strength of the Project Coordination team. Her previous experience juggling varied responsibilities has proven a natural fit.
‘As Operations Administrator, I handled admin elements at the beginning and end of a project,’ she explains. ‘As Project Coordinator, I’m still handling those elements, but I’m also working with Ciara and Becky to make sure our installers have what they need to complete our projects efficiently and effectively.’
When she’s not at Stancold, Libby enjoys painting, drawing and supporting her sister’s nail business through social media management. When she’s not working on creative projects, she’s usually spending time with friends or embracing her competitive side at pub quizzes and karaoke.
We’re very pleased to have Libby as part of Stancold. Her first few months have already highlighted her adaptability and strong work ethic, as evidenced by her quick transition to project coordination.
Join us in welcoming Libby to Stancold!
