Gillian Morgan

Having worked in the fashion and hair industry for the last 25 years, I have gained a wide variety of skills, with my main strengths being product knowledge, customer service, and the ability to work well in a team. After relocating to Nottingham in August 2016, I took a career break to ensure my children settled into their new schools and community. I have since transitioned into accounting and finance, having successfully completed multiple accounting qualifications through my studies.

I am now eager to apply my skills and knowledge in an Accounts Assistant role, utilising my strong numerical abilities and attention to detail, which I have developed through my coursework and training. I am keen to continue my learning and development to further enhance my career.
