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.
