elizabeth perry

administrative coordinator

The Horsley Witten Group is excited to announce that Elizabeth Perry (Liz) has joined our Sandwich Operations Team as an Administrative Coordinator. Liz earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathematics from Southern New Hampshire University. She has years of experience in bid preparation, estimating, finance, plan review, and sales support.

A lifelong learner, Liz is always looking to improve her skills. She appreciates technology and is happiest when helping others to analyze and improve processes. Liz has worked independently for herself, thrived as a cost estimator and administrative assistant in the commercial construction field, and as a stay-at-home parent.

Liz grew up in Swansea and was surrounded by relatives who immigrated from Portugal. Grandparents and parents who made their livelihoods working in textile mills and fishing nearby waters shared important life skills with her like sewing, textile arts, fishing, and map study. In high school she enjoyed field hockey (wishing the school had a girl’s ice hockey team), softball, and the drama club. She appreciates fine art and spending time with her family. She is a hockey fan from a hockey family and when not working she can be found at an ice rink cheering on her three children, of whom two are goalies! Liz also enjoys knitting, embroidery on kid’s t-shirts, and sewing. Welcome to HW Liz, we are so happy that you are here!
