Meet the Team – Keiran Gissane, Business Manager
Get to know the team behind the dream! We’d love for you to get to know our team as part of our ‘Meet the Team’ segment.
Tell us your name, role and how long you’ve been here at Hoxton
Keiran, Business Manager. I joined the team 3 months ago!
Tell us a bit about yourself (Hobbies, interests, background etc)
If I’m not watching paw patrol on repeat with my kids – you would find me playing guitar, gaming and putting my 2 dogs in the car to go away.
In the summer, I spend a lot of time at the beach, where I attempt to surf, I would really like to emphasise ‘attempt’.
Tell us a bit about your previous experience before coming to Hoxton (skillset, job experience etc)
I spent 10 years with NSW Health, working in intensive care unit, Emergency and Mental Health unit. I moved from the weekend work over to working in disability employment as a Business Manager, looking after various sites within Sydney.
Why Hoxton?
My working life has been dedicated to supporting and helping others, and being here at Hoxton that has not changed. Their values align with mine. It was an easy choice.
How have you found your time at Hoxton?
Enjoyable – the team here have been more welcoming than I could ever imagine.
What’s your fav ice cream flavour?
I don’t each much ice cream, but I do like an apple pie and custard for dessert
Is there anything else you’d like to share? An interesting fact about yourself, a story, anything!
The first time I ever went overseas, I didn’t do any big planning. I booked a plane ticket on a Monday night and flew 26 hours on my own to the UK two days later – only taking a backpack and forgetting my phone wouldn’t work there. I navigated my way around in a car, using only road signs and asking other people at petrol stations if I was heading in the right direction.
