Celebrating Dawn’s 10 Years at QCS Staffing
The year is 2014, "Happy" by Pharrell Williams was the top song, the ice bucket challenge was trending, Emoji's were everywhere, but QCS Staffing celebrates an event slightly closer to home – Dawn Hosier joins QCS!
We asked her a few questions to celebrate her 10 year QCS anniversary.
What is your role and why did you join QCS Staffing?
I am Senior Coordinator - Business Support within the Life
Sciences department. I wasn’t actively looking for a new role but a former
colleague and current colleague, Marcin were working at QCS Staffing and at the time
a guy in renewables was looking for support. I came in and had an initial chat
with Stephen, David, Spencer, Lauren & Jo. I loved how everyone was so
welcoming and the ethics. Renewables was a new team getting established. My
role was also QCS Staffing's first Business Service Support Specialist role, so it
was a great opportunity to join the team at this time. Everyone was so
friendly, I soon found myself learning about offshore wind farms. I was also fortunate
enough to go out and meet some fantastic contractors and learn about the
industry first hand.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the variety; no day is the same. I am fortunate enough to work with really talented people. I work within the operations team, but my main focus is supporting a team within the life science team working back with Marcin and his team the full 360 - poor Marcin. I love talking to our candidates and helping to source new candidates.
I love the people and our #OneTeam value, I don’t class anyone as just colleagues I have made a lot of lovely friends. I love the fun we all have on social events and in the office. The prosecco fairy has to be up there.

Spencer Trigg, CEO
What is your proudest moment at QCS Staffing?
There have been so many, watching how Q has grown, winning support person of the year, and of course the Halloween teams trophies over the years, being on the charity committee, and not forgetting the royal visit. Evolving my role from where I started at Q to now and having the opportunity to work with a lot of the teams in Q in various roles. I think one of the proudest moments is how everyone and I mean everyone supported each other during Covid-19, none of us was used to working from home, but the daily checks in, how quick IT got everyone set up on teams. From not only our own managers but from David, Spencer, Jo, Lauren, Jackie and of course everyone in Q. The Friday roundups were a great moral boost, and of course the online celebrations Bingo sticks in my mind, a really funny Friday evening where we all joined, a hilariously funny evening. There were a lot of funny moments on camera over that period of time. You knew if you were feeling down, go on teams and reach to anyone and they would be there for a quick chat anytime. So lucky to have that support in such a horrific time for everyone in the world.
Do you have any words of wisdom for anyone wanting to join QCS Staffing?
Anyone who is maybe thinking about changing jobs or even not thinking about it, have a look at the roles we have going and come and have a chat. The training given is second to none. There are opportunities to evolve, learn new skills, all the tools you need to be a success are there for the taking. From Senior Directors, leadership teams everyone is always available across the business to help you achieve what you want from a career at Q. My journey and the opportunities I have been given to explore new adventures (avenues) within Q have been amazing.
"Working alongside Dawn is an absolute pleasure. Her knowledge, commitment, and drive to deliver the very best service to our clients and candidates is second to none. Dawn has supported sales teams across our Life Sciences and Renewable Energy teams, where she has been instrumental in building some our longest standing relationships.
I can always rely on Dawn; she is the perfect brainstorming partner.
Congratulations on your 10-year anniversary Dawn, the Business Services team and QCS Staffing would not be the same without you."Joanna Belmar, Head of Business Services
