I graduated from university as a commercial property surveyor in 1999, initially in the licensed and leisure industry for Whitbread PLC. This involved providing publicans with legal and financial advice and helping them with their business strategy. I was then offered the opportunity of working with the largest public house provider Enterprise Inns PLC as a Business Valuer across Yorkshire and the North East responsible for a business portfolio with rental turnover in excess of £30 million a year. I developed strong business and financial acumen along with strong negotiating skills in order to maximise income.After 6 years I moved to specialist business valuers and consultants Pinders. My role there was to assess whether a business was a fully operational going concern or whether a vacant property had the potential to trade, this included a diverse range of licensed and leisure businesses including public houses, restaurants, golf clubs and hotels.After taking a career break to have a family I joined Fusion Business Solutions where my range of business skills and experience has contributed to the diverse range of skills our team already possesses which in turn enhances the service provided to our clients.Since joining the team at Fusion I have found being part of such a professional and supportive team very refreshing; we all have different skills and sense of humours which make work very interesting and enjoyable.
Listed skills include Financial Reporting, Business Analysis, Change Management, Financial Accounting, and 3 others.
