"We are not window salespeople; we prescribe a solution. We are there to advise the customer on the best product or solution for their budget. The best advice I could give is to take the emotion out of it!"
Natalie Belfour,
Background & Job Role
What led you to join Spaciotempo?
Prior to working at Spaciotempo, I was in the modular accommodation industry, which had many transferable skills. I am also an ex-forces veteran (army), and I enjoy the construction sector as the environment and people are very similar.
How long have you been with Spaciotempo, and what was your first impression of the team?
I am nearing my 10th anniversary, and I am lucky to work with people that were there when I joined. The culture in Spaciotempo is special – we all care about the future of the business and want to ensure we are the best in the industry.
What’s your role, and what does a typical day look like?
I am an ASM and cover the North of England and Scotland. I am a remote worker and spend my days working from home and attending site meetings.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
The variety. In a day, I could be managing a sports hall project, a warehouse project, and a manufacturing project. Variety is the spice of life!
Work Enviroment & Team Dynamics
What’s your favourite thing about working at Spaciotempo?
The team. We have something very special at Spaciotempo.
How do you collaborate with other departments?
I regularly work with our operations team and our French counterparts. I also have had projects where I need to utilise the expertise and products from GL events.
Projects & Clients
Can you describe a project you’ve worked on that you are particularly proud of?
Algeco. This was the 80m x 60m x 6m manufacturing space. The customer originally went out to market for a ‘temporary’ building, and I took them to see another 40m span project, which completely changed their minds on the route they had planned. Their building is semi-permanent and was in place of a traditional building, which saved them so much money. However, I am also proud of the smaller projects where you build a good relationship with the customer and know their building will have a huge impact on their day-to-day operations.
What’s the most unique or interesting client requirement you’ve had so far?
There are too many to mention! From sports halls to manufacturing space and everything else in between. Every project is interesting in its own way.
What sets Spaciotempo apart from its competitors?
The people! Without a doubt, the team we have sets us apart from our competition. It’s always a good feeling when you visit a customer and they tell you they have spoken to other suppliers who don’t revert with quotations, don’t answer emails or return calls, but they praise you for your professionalism.
Personal Insight
What motivates you?
I care about my customers, I care about my team, and I want to be the best I can be.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
Running, knitting, and crocheting.
It is strange to say that I enjoy my job so much. I look forward to work, so it never really feels like work.
Looking Ahead
What excites you about Spaciotempo’s future projects?
New products.
What personal goals do you have?
I would like to continue on the path I am on: managing an area and heading business development for the team.
If you could switch roles with anyone at Spaciotempo for a day, who would it be?
Absolutely no one! I have the utmost respect for all our departments and see daily what they do, so I will remain in my lane.
Natalie’s story is a shining example of passion, commitment, and teamwork. At Spaciotempo, we’re proud to have individuals like Natalie, whose dedication to both her clients and team drives our success forward. Stay tuned to meet more incredible members of our team!
