Helen Scurry

Finance & HR Team Leader

"The three things I love about my job are completing company MI and income reconciliation, problem solving and looking at new ways to report to the company as a whole."

Work

Helen looks after all the money coming in and going out of the company. She reconciles income from clients and product providers, and buys everything the company needs, from toilet rolls to laptops.

Helen also looks after day-to-day HR issues. She ensures we work in a nice environment, that staff are well looked after, and deals with all contracts and any HR problems.

Rest and play

Helen loves spending time with family and friends, particularly her two sons and grandson. Both Helen’s sons are keen cricketers, and she loves nothing more than a sunny Saturday afternoon watching cricket with a nice glass of something fizzy!

Helen and her husband moved a bit further out of York a few years ago, and now enjoy lovely countryside walks, preferably by a lake or river so the family dog Sophie can take a dip.
