What initially drew you to work in this industry or for GMG?

I worked for an insurance broker when I first started working but whilst there I did 2 weeks in the Marine Department. It was the most interesting 2 weeks I’d ever had and I loved the complexities of a world I knew nothing of. It’s an interesting industry and has layers of complexities in each area/department. I learn something new most weeks. I started in insurance and was scouted for their Finance team – and I’ve worked in Finance roles ever since.

What does your job entail?

I account for the Fuel and Lubes used each month by the vessels. I am responsible for the submission of multiple countries/entities VAT returns and process a number of month end journals for the Board Pack.

What advice can you give to someone who is just starting out at GMG?

Look to spend time with different departments to get a deeper understanding of the business and its employees. People build passion.

What’s the best thing about GMG?

Working with people that are passionate and knowledgeable about their jobs.
