Hayley has undertaken the role of Finance Manager since Nick and Ashley started the business in 2012.
In 2012, taking maternity leave from a successful 12-year career at Lloyds Bank, Hayley offered to help out with the company finances while Nick and Ashley got the business up and running. Although, she didn't realise it at the time, this would lead to her indefinitely postponing her corporate career!
