Testimonials
’Deb Gee did so much more than her job description in the 12 years we worked together, apart from managing the finance and office side of the organisation with RSL Sorp accounts and treasury management, she led on health and safety, kept up to date with regulatory frameworks, reviewed systems and implemented new ones and took a lead on HR. Most importantly with Deb you knew you had a senior manager who would keep an eye on all things, lead her team well and be there should the going get tough. Deb’s commitment to the cause and to her team and colleagues is a massive strength that would be a great benefit to any organisation.’
Dom Wood, ex Director of Priority Youth Housing
“Deb Gee worked with us for 8 months as Interim Head of Finance. She did an excellent job overseeing our finance team, producing monthly management reports and producing an organisational budget, as well as working with our Board. I’m very happy to recommend her.”
