THE QLS TEAM
Kate Patel
Managing Director
"I joined the QLS family in 2011 after several years in various management roles outside of the automotive industry. After 18 months in the administration office I moved over to the Operational side of the business as the Operations Manager.
In 2017 I joined the board as Operations Director and in 2018 my role was expanded to include the oversight of the administration and Finance office. After a couple of years running the day to day business, I took 100% ownership of the business on 30th September 2020."
