Sales Ledger Team Members

I’ve dealt with a vast range of farming businesses through the highs and lows that come with the nature of the industry, so I understand the importance of consistency.

I also come from a family of famers and love the life that being in farming brings.

Upon leaving school I spent 8 years with Aviva known then as Norwich Union providing customer services and that then leading on to dealing with accounts. I went to India for 4 weeks to train staff when the jobs went overseas. I then got made redundant and a friend recommended Anglia Farmers now AF group – I started briefly in invoicing before applying for a completely different role for me in the Arable inputs department in chemicals where I was for 8 years before moving back to invoicing where I felt the role was better suited to me.

I started my Career as a Hairdresser, then marrying Ray, introducing my two boys, Chris, and Scott into the world, which lead to my 15 years in childcare obtaining my degree within my role as Nursery Manager. A change of career was needed and I found myself sitting at a desk rather than sitting on the floor.

I enjoy eating out and exploring our amazing county, although I can’t wait to explore some very hot countries again. I have a beautiful Granddaughter Sophia and a Grandson due to arrive end of January.

I am a chartered accountant with over 26 years post qualification experience. My career began in practice – preparing accounts for pig farmers and progressed through audit then into industry. I was a Finance Manager at Group Lotus for 9 years covering the wide spectrum of finance roles including taxation, manufacturing, engineering and central services. I have worked for commercial organisations as well as charities, including being Finance Director for an independent school for 5 years. My skills help focus teams to rationalise processes to achieve efficiencies and streamline systems – all the while ensuring accuracy of information.
