00:00:00.200 –> 00:00:07.080
Since joining the GPA a few months ago everyone’s
been really helpful, really friendly. It’s a great

00:00:07.080 –> 00:00:13.960
mix of people to work with, I’ve got, I’ve met
people from across the organisation and I’m

00:00:13.960 –> 00:00:24.480
really excited to be working with a really
diverse and interesting group of people.

Before I joined the GPA, I started
my career in a big four accountancy

00:00:05.200 –> 00:00:10.480
firm. So as a graduate on their scheme,
I finished my accounting qualification,

00:00:10.480 –> 00:00:15.280
worked with lots of businesses. I was
always in the Midlands, based in Birmingham,

00:00:15.280 –> 00:00:21.800
and worked with all sorts of big companies, little
companies, public sector organisations, in audit

00:00:21.800 –> 00:00:28.120
and also financial advisory. So that involved
doing reviews on lots of aspects of business.

00:00:28.120 –> 00:00:34.160
After that I moved in to education as a finance
director. Loved it. It was brilliant. Four years

00:00:34.160 –> 00:00:47.520
of helping to deliver education in an
area of substantial economic deprivation
