Playing a large part in company leadership, Helen's role involves investing time into new employees, sharing her wealth of experience to aid their career growth.
Helen said she "understood the vision and believed in the product from the beginning".
She continued: "I’m definitely a people person who always seeks to understand not only the marketplace but our clients. I love nothing more than doing viewings and getting to know what is important to businesses so I can tackle issues and provide solutions.
"The fact we have retained original clients for over two decades is a testament to Arena’s consistent vision and values."
