Employee Spotlight : Emily Ward

Strongdor is dedicated to shining a light on their hard-working team, who help keep the company renowned for its impeccable customer service. In this article, we hear Emily's insights into what it's really like working for Strongdor.

How long have you worked at Strongdor?
I have worked at Strongdor since March 2024. It feels a lot longer than that, though—in a good way.

What is your role at Strongdor?
I'm a Marketing Project Co-Ordinator. My role is all about making life easier for the specifier.

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be? 
If I could learn to do anything, it would be to play golf. I love the idea of being outdoors in the afternoon. However, the last time I went to play crazy golf, my eight-year-old son beat me, so I really don’t see professional golf in my future.

What do you love about working for Strongdor?
There are several things I love about working at Strongdor. One of them is the atmosphere in the office. With every win—whether it's specification-related, marketing-related, or sales-related—everybody shares in the victory, and the atmosphere is electric. Another thing I love about Strongdor is how everyone gets involved. We recently had a marketing campaign for the 101 brochure, and it was really fun watching the two teams compete against each other to see who could wrap the neatest and the quickest. The competition at Strongdor adds another layer of energy to the office.

How would you describe yourself in three words?
If I were to describe myself in three words, I would say 'busy.' As a mum of two boys, I'm constantly on the go. We also run a football team and have a second business, so it's definitely hectic. It's chaotic, but I love it. The second word I would use to describe myself is 'adaptable.' I think anyone in marketing has to be adaptable. The third word I would use, which I think everyone who’s ever worked with me would agree with, is 'passionate.' I get very passionate about everything I do.
