We have spent some time talking to the Business Development team about their roles within Icosa Water.
See what they had to say about working for us and what they get up to on a day-to-day basis.
Who is on the team?
Across our team we have over 50 years of water and wastewater industry experience ranging from a variety of roles giving us in-depth knowledge of how the water industry operates.
Meet the team
Andy Holland, our Associate Director
Anthony Davies and Mike Taylor, our Sales Managers
Anna Gordon, our Sales and Marketing Executive
What is it like working for Icosa Water?
A supportive environment is key to the culture here at Icosa Water. This is evident within the hiring and on boarding process. As well as the development of existing members of staff, allowing the opportunity to progress within Icosa Water. This ensures we are all equipped with a wide variety of knowledge not only in your department but in the wider business.
A few words from Anthony Davies
“I found working for Icosa a breath of fresh air from the supportive culture I’ve experienced from day one to the gift of faster decision making and a less corporate baggage than I’ve been used to in the past”
What does your day to day consist of?
As a Sales Manager Anthony Davies has this to say
“Everything that goes into supporting our customer’s needs and which fulfils Icosa’s Sales objectives:
- Providing technical advice to new and existing clients
- Communicating with clients
- Presentations to new customers
- Preparing quotes and tenders
- Communicating with the team; delivering updates
How is your role key to the overall NAV process?
Anthony Davies, Sales Manager
“My role is principally one of communication to raise awareness, explicating opportunities and from that responding to those customers’ needs. Although the NAV concept isn’t exactly new, it still needs to be communicated to the developer world and those associated with it. Many still haven’t heard about it or more so, don’t really understand how it works & the benefits it can bring to meet their challenges.
I look to maximise opportunities for Icosa through strategically identifying customer needs whether driven by price, service or a technical solution through the NAV pathway.”
We then spoke to Anna about her role, and she had this to say
“As the Sales and Marketing Executive my day to day consists of:
- Managing and maintaining the Icosa website.
- Content creations and implementing the marketing plan for Icosa.
- Assisting with client liaison within the business development meetings
- Assisting within the quotation process
- Talking to potential customers about the benefits of Icosa Water”
What do you enjoy most about your role?
Seeing how customers engage with our content and the feedback we receive on it. Also to see how the Icosa brand has grown over the last 5 years and the input I have had with the brand.
Few words from Anna Gordon, our Sales and Marketing Executive
“I love that no day is ever the same, a cliche I know. When I started Icosa Water in 2017, it was a small team. Even though the company has evolved over the years, the level of support and guidance I have received has never changed. I love that I have been allowed the opportunity to gain experience and professional development through a variety of roles throughout the company allowing me to further understand how the company operates. However, my favourite aspect is understanding how the water industry works from all angles of the business and the creative and communication aspects of my role”
