Work Experience

1996-2002 Dataflex Design Communications Limited - Telecommunications Industry

Finance Manager and Company Secretary reporting to Managing Director with a dotted line responsibility to group Finance Director
When I joined the company we were a wholly owned subsidiary of Amstrad Plc with a turnover of about £2m. In 1997 there was a Management Buy-Out, which involved the three directors and a Venture Capitalist. Over the next three years turnover has increased to £45m and the holding company formed to buy the shares in Dataflex Design was floated on the Stock Exchange in March 2000. In this time we bought other companies and it was part of my responsibility to merge their systems into our main accounting system and also manage the downturn in the business because of the difficulties experienced in the telecoms sector.
