Financial Controller
Kelly Tookey
Kelly… in a nutshell
I never fully know what to expect from day-to-day. Working with two brilliant finance team members, I’ll be carrying out all sorts of tasks to make sure we maintain our external accounting requirements and provide the team with the internal management information they need to keep running everything smoothly.
Helping people ‘get more life out of life’ (as the company maxim goes) is what matters, at the end of the day. I think we embody that internally as well as in the clients we serve; I’m lucky to have an amazing and very supportive team of people around me.
I love the dynamics of family life. There’s my husband, two teens, and a big extended family through four generations. My kids keep me extremely busy – they love sport and compete in judo and taekwondo all over the country.
I had a cake featured on BBC Bake Off’s Extra Slice. Yes, it was the disaster section!
I recently passed a ballet exam. I try to spend time being creative when time allows, whether that’s sewing or cooking. A tip on the latter – always have vinegar and onions with your Yorkshire Puddings!
