Finance Bulletin Newsletter_November 2022 V1

Name: Bernie Gormley

Tell us about a funny / memorable / proud work moment… One year, everyone was waiting for me to finalise the pricelist before we went to our Christmas Party & I inadvertently pressed a button that gave every single item the same price. It certainly wasn’t funny or my proudest work moment, but it was definitely memorable. Tell us what you’re most looking forward to this year! The challenge of moving to Babbage!

Hometown/location: Aquafax, Luton

Job role and business area: Purchase Ledger

Tell us about your career history: I will have my 30 year work anniversary at Aquafax on Feb 1st 2023. In the early days, my main role was to buy in the stock, but as there were only nine of us, I also covered in the warehouse & invoiced customers. For many years I was responsible for the Retail Pricelist but now, as I’m rowing for the shore, my role is purely in Purchase Ledger which keeps me busy all day every day. Tell us something fun about finance! Loose change really does add up.

And finally, tell us something interesting about you…

I’m always busy, but it all revolves around having a good time, whether it’s with my family or with my close friends. I love to travel and was lucky enough to stay on an almost deserted island in The San Blas Islands a few years ago.
