Achievements
•  I planned and co-ordinated computerisation of the management accounts system, which 
required me to use high-level organisational skills and my ability to think strategically and to 
deal with complex problems as the project progressed.
•  I trained staff in the use of the new system, provided concise and effective guidelines and 
designed a training plan. I ensured full staff engagement through involvement at all levels.
•  I reduced the cost of supplies by 11% in 2001-2002, and was able to make savings by thinking 
creatively and identifying alternative methods of purchasing goods.
•   I strengthened and simplied the reporting of nancial information: each team was given 
greater responsibility for reporting on their own accounts which led to greater transparency. 
•  I researched a detailed marketing study leading to a refocused annual marketing plan. 
•  I negotiated a £2m loan for a major construction project, which required me to research and 
present our case. I represented the company in negotiations throughout the bidding process, 
including at panel interviews.
•  I handled credit analyses and made credit recommendations.
