A Bit About Me!
I grew up in a small rural village in Cheshire where nature was right on my doorstep. My childhood was filled with adventures through hills, woods and forests, which gave me a deep appreciation for the outdoors from an early age. Back then, I dreamed of becoming an equine vet because of my love for horses, but it turns out my brain preferred numbers over biology!
My passion for maths led me naturally into the world of accounting, and I’ve never looked back. I love being part of a company that’s making a difference for children, especially knowing how important the natural world was in my own childhood.
My Work at Pentagon Play
I’ve worked in the Accounts department at Pentagon since 2009, and it’s been an amazing journey watching the company evolve and thrive. As the team has grown, so has the need for smart financial systems, and I’m proud to play a key role in keeping everything ticking along efficiently.
What I love most about my job is the people. We have such a supportive and friendly office culture, it really does feel like a second family. No matter how busy we are, we always make time for a laugh and a good chat.
When I’m not crunching numbers, you’ll most likely find me strolling down the canal, wildlife-spotting, or enjoying a night out with my friends. I love being surrounded by good company, good conversation and a bit of mischief, my daft sense of humour tends to come out after a glass of wine or two!
