Paula Amesbury

FD/CFO

My passion is business transformations, whether that is through people development, re-organisations, improved processes and systems, or mergers and acquisitions. I particularly enjoy being involved in improving operational performance across all disciplines and enjoy being on-site and working with people across all areas of the business to improve performance.
