I left school and worked for a company which is now called Raytheon UK, I was part of a large Accounts team which I enjoyed and attended college once a week and passed my Btec in Accounting. I continued to work here for many years in several different departments but still within the Accounts.

I left Raytheon to start a family of which I now have a girl of 19 and a boy of 14, I still continued to work in various places as and when I could. Then when the children were old enough for me to go back into an office, Still Part time but fixed days, I worked for a partitioning company and I was taught Sage Payroll and Sage Accounts.

I left there and joined Contour Roofing (Essex) Ltd nearly 7 years ago in August 2009 and took over there Accounts. Although the company was male dominated I found no problem keeping them all in line. The company has probably nearly doubled in size since back then, however we continue to enjoy our jobs and keep the banter alive.

My hobbies include watching my daughter dance, my son play football, Walking the dog and a nice quiet read of an good autobiography.
