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.
