Michelle Creighton: Finalist at Women in Fire Safety Awards 2024
Michelle Creighton's journey with Apollo began at just 19 years old, and over the years, her passion, dedication, and relentless drive have seen her excel in a variety of roles, shaping her into the exceptional leader she is today.
Michelle’s hard work and perseverance have earned her a nomination at the prestigious Women in Fire Safety Awards, a recognition that speaks volumes about her commitment and achievements within the fire safety industry. As an organisation, we are incredibly proud of Michelle and thrilled to celebrate this milestone with her.
Michelle’s Career Journey with Apollo
Michelle started her career at Apollo in a front-line role on reception, where her friendly demeanour and eagerness to learn made an instant impression. As she interacted with colleagues, customers, and visitors, her curiosity about the company grew, and soon she found herself transitioning into a role in sales, handling order processing and shipping documentation.
It was in this role that Michelle’s natural talent for building strong customer relationships began to shine. Her drive to learn more about Apollo’s operations led to her promotion as a Dispatch Supervisor, where she further broadened her knowledge and worked to enhance cross-department communication. Michelle's continuous thirst for growth saw her promoted once again, this time to Sales Supervisor.
In 2014, Michelle achieved another milestone, stepping into her current role as Customer Relationship Manager. Leading a team of five, she focuses on developing her team members while streamlining processes to optimise operations. Her dedication to personal and professional growth, combined with her unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, has made her an indispensable part of Apollo’s success story.
When she’s not managing customer relationships or mentoring her team, Michelle loves to travel and explore new places. From Canada and Cyprus to Italy and Las Vegas, she’s always looking for her next adventure. Michelle is also a fitness enthusiast, hitting the gym four times a week to stay in shape, even if it means waking up at 6 a.m.!
“Apollo is a fantastic company to work for. They genuinely care about their employees and provide opportunities for growth and recognition. I’ve been able to expand my skillset and knowledge, and I’m truly grateful for the support and encouragement I’ve received throughout my career.”
