FORTTALK WITH KRISTY-LEE ELLWOOD

At Fortress, we believe the best Estimators are those who’ve had exposure to every part of the process. Kristy-Lee, our vibrant and dedicated Estimator, embodies this perfectly.

Starting her journey in automotive collision straight out of high school, Kristy-Lee has steadily worked her way through various roles to become the well-rounded expert she is today. Her experience spans front-end customer service, and production and parts management, all of which have made her an exceptional Estimator.

Kristy-Lee’s commitment to growth hasn’t stopped there. At Fortress, she’s been provided development opportunities through I-Car Training and works closely with our in-house Estimator Trainer, constantly honing her skills. Reflecting on her journey, Kristy-Lee says, “I’ve learned more at Fortress than all my years combined. Fortress is happy to invest in their employees to further the growth of the next generation. You feel valued and encouraged to branch out.”

With her continuous thirst for knowledge and her appreciation for Fortress’ commitment to employee development, Kristy-Lee sees herself as part of the Fortress Family for many years to come. She’s excited to keep expanding her expertise across all aspects of the industry, ensuring she can offer the very best in her role.
