At MissionCX, we believe that success isnāt just measured by the projects we deliver ā itās measured by the people who power them. And this week, weāre celebrating one of our own: Keisha Stephenson, who has just hit her 1-year anniversary with us. Keisha joined MissionCX as a Resourcer, supporting our recruitment and delivery teams to find the right people for the right projects across the UK and Europe. From the start, sheās brought professionalism, warmth, and a down-to-earth energy thatās made her a natural fit for the MissionCX culture. As part of our development journey, Keisha also took on a cross-functional support role within our commercial team, gaining valuable insight into how different areas of the business operate and collaborate. Itās a great example of the learning opportunities we offer through the MissionCX People Programmeā¢, helping team members build confidence, broaden their skillsets, and see the bigger picture.
Over the past year, sheās completed her NVQ Level 3 in Business Administration and is now studying for her APM Project Fundamentals Qualification. Her commitment to personal growth is inspiring and commendable. Keisha is also playing a key role in delivering our upcoming Work Insights Week (WIN Week), 7ā11 July 2025, part of our wider MissionCX Pathfinder Programmeā¢. Sheās doing a fantastic job liaising with industry partners and helping to organise our Careers Exhibition Day, ensuring students gain an impactful, real-world introduction to commissioning, operations, and life in the nuclear, energy, and defence sectors. And sheās not just supporting the next generation ā sheās giving back, too. Keisha is part of the MissionCX team taking on the Lake District Mighty Hike this June in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, and has already raised Ā£265 with her usual mix of commitment and good humour.
