Happy New Year and welcome to the first 2019 edition of FOD futures. This month we will be looking at the two recent additions to the finance team Magda & Sarah. They both joined in October and have been hard at work helping Nikki out ever since.

“As we continue to grow, it’s important for us to strengthen across all areas of our business and our finance team is no exception.  Since joining us in late 2018 Sarah & Magda have been fantastic additions to FOD.  Both show great diligence, attention to detail and a real passion for their accounting studies. – Welcome to the team Magda & Sarah.”

In my spare time I enjoy renovating my house, archery and growing my own vegetables.

Where have you worked in the past?

My job prior to working at Fleetondemand was at Taxassist Accountants working as an Accounts Assistant.

What was it about the company that made you accept a job here?

I was very interested in joining the company because I would be joining at a key point in the company’s growth. Fleetondemand also encourage employees to reach their full potential by offering financial support towards studies and give training within the company.

It has made coming to work enjoyable! Everybody that works here are very friendly and there is a great sense of community across all departments.

What do you do in your spare time outside of work?

I am currently working hard to complete the last level of AAT so most of my free time is spent revising for exams. When I do have some spare time I enjoy socialising, walking and taking my 2 children on days out.  

What are you looking forward to in the future of your career?

Completing my AAT and progressing onto CIMA. My ambition is to become a management accountant.
