Spotlight On … Cianon Yeo – Receptionist

Blacktower already has a long and successful history in the sector, how will you and your colleagues continue to offer value to clients in the next 20 years and beyond?

There’s a real energy in head office and there are always discussions around new ideas, ventures and people joining the Blacktower family. I love being part of that. I think the most important thing for me is to be flexible in my job – if someone needs help with something urgently, I will jump in to do what I can.

Head office is all about providing support for Blacktower at an international level, so I can often find myself talking to our people in all parts of the world on a daily basis. I am learning more about each head office department every day, so that I can help where required. It’s so true that team work makes the dream work.

Tell us an interesting fact about yourself

I am the only born and bred Gibraltarian in the office, I was brought up here and have never lived anywhere else. It’s a lively yet very safe place to live – except for our roads. For anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure of visiting, it’s akin to Ho Chi Minh City – mopeds everywhere vying for position on our crowded roads. Along with the increasing number of electric scooters around now, you take your life in your hands on our roads. Nonetheless, I have just applied for my scooter licence and hope to buy one shortly, but I have been told I drive like a granny, so you have nothing to fear from me!

GraphThe latest Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) survey describes widespread growth across the UK economy, with notable upturns in the services and manufacturing sectors.

The PMI records and aggregates the strength of various sectors of the economy and is often used to predict likely changes to interest rates. The fact that data for January indicated the most significant growth in 16 months, led many pundits to speculate on the unlikelihood of an interest rate cut by the Bank of England. And they were right.

The picture of growth was supported by numerous data channels. For example, figures from Rightmove revealed a 2.3 per cent month-on-month upturn on UK house prices in January, the largest ever recorded for the month, and this assisted the annual house price rise figure to 2.7%, the largest increase since 2017.*
