I have worked for Energi People as Finance Manager for nearly 7 years, and in all honesty, I’m still loving it! The company has changed a lot since I joined, people have come and gone, and the workforce grown, but the values are still the same which for me is incredibly important. Money isn’t the be all and end all, happiness is (that doesn’t mean I don’t want a payrise guys!!).Apart from a 6 month break and a couple of temp jobs, I have worked for two companies in the last 21 years one being Energi, which probably says a lot about myself and my employers. I have worked for some great people in my career, but that is not down to luck, that’s down to being picky and choosing the right employer.I prefer to work for SMEs, where I believe I bring real value. I have gained a vast amount of experience over the years and in different area’s of the business, obviously Finance being the main, but also, HR, Legal and anything involved in running the back end of business. I am certainly a “Jack of all Trades” but definitely a master on one “Finance”So, who am I, what makes me, me? I value honesty and loyalty, whether that be with my family, friends or employers, if you treat me right the returns from me are endless! I love having fun, going out, meeting new people, I love to laugh! Holidays and time away are a big part of my life, until a couple of years ago you could find me on a sandy beach, reading a booking and listening to the sound of the Caribbean lapping against the shore. Then I discovered Vegas, I need say no more!
