Spotlight on Amanda
SPOTLIGHT ON AMANDA JAMES Our Team Members Are the Secret Sauce to Franklin Building Supply We can’t say it enough — our team members are the heart of Franklin Building Supply. They make sure that our customers are taken care of and keep our operations streamlined, and they are the face of the company. Amanda has been with us for two years now and models outstanding employee ownership, hard work, teamwork, and dedication. As a controller at the Jaguar Corporate Office, much of her work takes place behind the scenes, and we want to be sure to recognize the impact she makes on Franklin Building Supply. For Amanda, her favorite part of the job is the numbers. Most of her day is consumed with calculations, databases, and spreadsheets. “Seriously, what could be better?” she tells us. “I also get to work with some pretty awesome people, but it’s the numbers that get me out of bed in the morning.” However, Amanda’s favorite part of the job is also the most challenging, but being challenged is a good thing, too. “There is a lot of data every single day, and it comes in many forms,” Amanda says. “This keeps me on my toes and forces me to continuously work on new ways to present the information.”
Working LEAN in my department is extremely important. We are constantly looking for ways to improve efficiencies both at the corporate office and out at the locations. Management leans on us to produce information so that they can see what is working, what is not, and where our weaknesses lie. The faster we can provide that information back to management, the faster they can react and adjust. Outside of her busy day at the office, Amanda is family oriented. She enjoys spending time with her husband and two dogs and going outdoors whenever possible. Weather permitting, she can be found hiking, camping, biking, skiing, or enjoying a serene river somewhere. Amanda, during the season of gratitude and every single day, we are grateful for your positive attitude, exceptional work ethic, talent, and love of numbers. We appreciate you!
