Farewell from Fitwise: Bahiya Basheikh

With Bahiya reaching the end of her internship with Fitwise on August 6th, we catch up with her to look back at her time with us!

My internship was last summer from July-September. Then I came back to work in the Events department for a month in November. I came back again in February to the Sales department. This time they’re finally getting rid of me!

My role consists of supporting the sales department with their work. I process booking forms, chase exhibitors, and other admin tasks. Since I returned in February, I have been assisting with getting the databases GDPR ready and mostly helping Dario with IPS.

I think seeing how a business operates has been eye-opening. It’s interesting to see the link between the theory I learned at university and practice of the theory.

I think my communication skills across different platforms has improved significantly. I’m much more confident speaking to people and my emails sound far more professional now!

I’ve really enjoyed learning about the field. The health industry was not something I had any experience or worked much on previously so it’s been really fascinating. Also, the staff here are lovely they made me feel so welcome.

Honestly, I’m taking a life break! Hopefully I’ll be doing some travelling and seeing the rest of the world. After that we’ll see what happens.

Thanks for your time Bahiya, we’re sad to see you go!

Sammy Dalrymple

Sales Campaign Executive

Email: Samantha.Dalrymple@Fitwise.co.uk

Sammy has recently joined Fitwise as a Sales Campaign Executive bringing over six years of sales experience with her. Being organised and having meticulous attention to detail are some of the strengths she brings to the team, along with the ability to juggle a mix of projects at the same time.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Outside of work, Sammy is a wife, mum, and dog mum. She enjoys spending her days off with family, enjoying brunch with the girls or travelling the UK attending various music gigs and festivals. After a long day or a busy weekend, her favourite way to unwind is cuddling up on the sofa with her beloved Dudley – a wonderfully crusty old Border Collie.

 

Favourite place in the world?

Sammy aims to take at least one holiday in the sun, and one city break each year. Her favourite holiday so far has been a family trip to Tenerife where she visited Siam Park, went scuba diving with a ‘shark’ (a 10-inch bath toy) and befriended a capuchin monkey – the perfect highlight for someone who is totally animal obsessed.

 
Sammy is looking forward to gaining more skill and knowledge in the events industry and working alongside a great team!
