Kathryn Hamilton

An experienced professional with 25 years working in the Finance and Construction industry. During this time, opportunity has allowed me to work at a large Corporate and 'Start Up' Small to Medium Sized businesses. I understand the highs and lows and challenges of both ends of the spectrum. Most recently, I have been an integral and important part of a 'Start Up' Foreign Currency Payments and Hedging business and we have grown from a sales turnover of £100k to £1.8M within 4 full years of trading.

My working career has touched on lots of areas in particular Finance, Operations, Compliance, Customer Service and Human Resources. I have a good understanding of the key principles of each of these areas but particularly enjoy the operations and administrative tasks that relate to them.

I am well organised and methodical in how I work. I am realistic and manage other's expectations when working towards an end goal.

I pride myself on 1 - my relentlessness to get it right first time for the end 'customer' whether that be internal or external and 2. my exceptional attention to detail that that comes from working in an Audit environment for much of my early career. I have carried these two skills through with me and they form the core of my values.

I work well with others and have great interpersonal and communication skills. I am able to work on my own and I am also used to interacting and working with people at all levels within businesses, most recently my role has involved me working closely with Senior Level Finance Directors and Owners of businesses who relied on me to assist them in managing their foreign currency exposure.

I am keen to find employment where I can use and develop my skills further and will embrace training and development for any role.

• I have recently taken up cricket and play for a local Women's team. I am a Mum of two children and enjoy spending my free time entertaining and spending quality time with them
