I qualified as a chartered accountant in the UK some 16 years ago whilst I was working  with Coopers & Lybrand. I then spent 12 years  working with the Boots Company in the United  Kingdom and Australia in a variety of senior  finance and information technology roles. I  joined Super Cheap Auto in 2001. I am responsible for Finance, Treasury, Payroll,  Internal Audit and I have overall responsibility  for the Business Systems Department. The opportunity to make a real contribution to shaping the future of one of Australia’s fastest  growing companies. There were many – 39% growth, New Zealand,  the IPO – but particularly working with a great  team of people across the business who work so  hard every day to do the best job they can. It has to be the Air Compressor – what a fantastic  deal so I just had to get one – although I haven’t  actually worked out how I am going to use it yet! Right now it’s a new product that is going to hit the stores in the next few months. It’s an  inflatable boat, I saw the shipment sample come  through and asked if I could buy it. It’s a great  product and considerably cheaper than what I  had expected to pay. It folds up into a carry bag  that has wheels on it so you can pull it around. It fits into the boot of a Commodore and is a great  product for fishing in hard to get to places or for  kids to have fun with on the weekends. Opening nine stores in one day, stretching from Perth in the West to Hastings and Napier on  the Eastern side of North Island New Zealand. The dynamic fast paced environment and the  culture is fantastic. I’m responsible for the day-to-day operations of our stores and for the set up of new stores. A. I’ve been in retail all my working life with 15 years of retail experience in Australia and in Saudi Arabia. Prior to joining Super Cheap  Auto in 2002, I was a National Business Manager  in Woolworths Limited’s merchandise team. PAGE20
