Anna is a fantastic member of the 24S buying team. She played an essential role to the development of the 24S business, handling the major brands of the portfolio. She is a very hard-working person who has attention to detail. She always sets her targets, reaches them and even aims for more! She is also a down to earth person who is easy to work with. I loved working with Anna and can definitely recommend her to any company.

Anna continuously strives to improve that which has gone before. No one rises to a challenge like Anna. She's strong-minded and outspoken, especially in a discussion where she holds different views to those of others. She has no trouble reaching decisions and taking responsibility. Anna sees her role as tackling tasks to the best of her ability and this end she can focus for long periods. Although Anna believes herself to be sociable, when her attention is caught by something that is of interest, she can cut off social contact until she has dealt with the task in hand.
