This month, Fuel Oil News speaks with Nunzia Florio, Communications Director for The Tank Storage Association, to discover how Nunzia spends a typical day.
MY ALARM GOES OFF AT…
I tend to wake up naturally before my alarm goes off at around 6.30am.
THE FIRST THING I DO IS…
scroll through a round-up of the day’s main news stories. I’m not a breakfast person but I love my morning coffee.
I PREPARE FOR THE DAY AHEAD BY…
catching up with the morning’s messages and emails and prioritising tasks that require my immediate attention.
However, throughout the day, I might receive some time sensitive enquiries which means that I will have to reprioritise my day.
I CAN’T LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT…
my mobile phone. If I am attending a meeting, I will also not leave the house without my notes.
MY TYPICAL DAY –
My role as Communications Director involves wearing many hats. From leading communications projects and campaigns, to creating engaging content, writing articles or press releases, producing our Terminals Talk podcast, promoting partnerships with key stakeholders and identifying opportunities to ensure that the sector’s priorities are at the top of the agenda, there’s no day looking the same.
As a trade association, we tackle a wide scope of issues relevant to the bulk storage and energy infrastructure sector while also providing a wide range of support for our membership such as comprehensive monitoring and weekly updates.
We also represent our members’ key priorities to Government, Parliament, Regulatory Agencies and in the media. This requires flexibility and the ability to adapt in order to drive positive change.
This also means that every day is filled with exciting opportunities to ensure that our sector’s voice is heard and understood when and where it matters most.
MY MOST MEMORABLE WORK MOMENT…
From launching our podcast, Terminals Talk, to having the opportunity to represent the bulk storage and energy infrastructure sector at such an exciting time for our industry and working with the amazing team at the TSA, there are so many memorable work moments!
THE WORST PART OF MY JOB…
Plans can change quickly but unexpected changes can also be turned into opportunities
THE BEST PART OF MY JOB…
is working with friends, colleagues and partners across the bulk storage and energy infrastructure sector and beyond at a time of transformational progress.
I RELAX AFTER WORK BY…
taking my dog for a walk after watching the evening news.
MY FAVOURITE MEAL IS (Breakfast, lunch, or evening meal)…
Pasta. I could eat pasta every day.
ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE IS…
a Japanese novel set in a bookstore and my mobile phone.
THE LAST THING I DO EACH DAY IS…
play Connections, the New York Times game.
I’M NORMALLY IN BED BY…
11pm at the very latest.
