We would like to welcome Victoria Grout, the new Business Support Officer, to the RSA team. Victoria began her career as a Receptionist Administrator and progressed to Assistant Manager at two leading recording studios in London. She then moved into a Business Enterprises Administrator and customer service role at IPC Media. After relocating to Sussex in 2000, she joined Quadrant Subscription Services (part of Reed Business Information) as a Database Administrator, supporting the bureau responsible for subscription fulfilment across IPC’s portfolio.
Following a career break to raise a family, Victoria completed AAT Levels 2 and 3, and has since held Finance Assistant roles at a tech consultancy, a digital marketing and PR agency, and, most recently, an executive search recruitment firm.
Victoria said:
Having not worked in the charity sector before, I am looking forward to finding out more about how it all works.
