I am a qualified chartered accountant with more than 20 years experience in FMCG Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail, Property and Sport sectors but particularly food, utilising techniques learned from training in a Big 6 Practice environment.

Strengths:

My key strength is in working with people to make or do things better. I am skilled in driving performance, profit and growth, controlling costs and reducing waste, managing and building key stakeholder relationships across different types of businesses.

Believes in:

I believe in always giving 100% and doing your best in everything. I strive for perfection and believe there are always improvements that can be made. I constructively challenge assumptions, misguided thinking and poor performance with honesty and integrity whilst building confidence and re-assurance.

Passions:

Outside of work I am a keen cyclist, enjoy playing electric and acoustic guitar; tennis; hill walking, listening to music; films; reading and attending Rugby League matches as a season ticket holder at Widnes Vikings.
