Biography

In 1996 the Print Service purchased a Management Information System (MIS), Tharsterns. In May 1997 I was employed as a temporary member of staff to input data, dating back to the start of that financial year.

In August 1997 I was asked to manage the MIS and develop financial procedures within the Print Service. I was given a permanent contract in November 1998 and had the unusual title of Management Information System Supervisor.

In the year 2002/3 we had several staff leave the Print Service and following a full service review I became Office Manager, adding the management of the Digital Duplicating Section to my role.

I have also completed the AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians), while working at the University.
