Kate's Quickfire Questions

What’s your job in a nutshell?

Helping businesses discover how Make Me Local can support their growth and make the most of their online presence.

Tell me some of the most important things about your job role. What do you need to be good at?

Being a good listener is essential. Every business is different, so it’s important to understand what people actually need rather than make assumptions. You also need to be approachable, organised and confident when communicating with people from all walks of life. Above all, you need to genuinely enjoy helping others.

Give me two or three pieces of wisdom about your role. What is particularly important?

Listen more than you talk. Build relationships rather than simply focusing on making a sale. And always think about how you can genuinely help someone and their business.

Which Make Me Local value is most applicable to your role?

Putting the client and their business first. For me, that means taking the time to understand what matters to each business owner, what they want to achieve and how we can best support them. It’s about finding the right fit, not just offering a service.

How did you get into your industry? What interests you about it?

I’ve always enjoyed meeting people and learning about what they do. I’m naturally sociable and love hearing about the different businesses people have built. What interests me most is that no two conversations are the same. There’s always something new to learn, and it’s rewarding to help someone find a solution that makes a real difference to their business.

Describe yourself in 3 words.

Practical, friendly and helpful.

Tell us something we won’t know about you!

I’m a Grade 8 oboe player, I can tap dance and I love swimming! I clearly enjoy keeping busy, whether that’s making music, dancing or swimming a few lengths at the pool.

Never have I ever…

Been particularly good at sitting still! I always need something to be getting on with.
