Shared Interest Society is very pleased to welcome aboard a new member of staff after interviews took place in Costa Rica at the beginning of the month.

Raquel Lee Vargas is our new Assistant Administrator and will be providing administrative support to Hugo Villela, our Regional Development Executive who heads up our office in Costa Rica.

While Hugo is out and about meeting new and existing customers in Central America, Raquel will be holding the fort back in the office making sure that any new customer proposals are being processed accordingly and liaising with Head Office in Newcastle. Raquel is a graduate in business administration and will no doubt ensure the smooth running of our regional office.
