Hayley Fenton
Nicky trained me in my role as a 'trainee sales and purchase ledger' which i then moved onto being the sole purchase ledger. I worked with Nicky for 3 years here. Nicky was great to work with. She gave very direct and understandable instructions, she also helped me a lot along the way with my AAT Foundation level course. As a credit controller nicky was very precise, collected debts on time and did an outstanding job. Nicky is confident in what she does and will exceed in any role that she aquires.
