Q: You hail from Australia originally. How long have you been in the UK and what brought you to these shores?
A : I arrived in London in October 2008 hoping to see more of the world.
Q: How hard was it to endure the last Ashes series and what is your prediction for the forthcoming clash?
A: Extremely hard, trying to erase from memory. Aussie's to win on home soil later this year!
Q: Accountants have to be very precise in their work. Are you naturally a precise person or do you have to work at it?
A: I would like to think it comes naturally, but much more so in my professional life than in my personal one!
Q: What’s the best thing about living and working in London?
A: Big city living, and the travel opportunities! Londoners take it for granted that you can leave your desk at 4pm and be in Paris by 8pm!
Q: If we needed to open an office somewhere else in Europe, where would you choose?
A: My ideal would be a summer office in Chora Sfakion in Crete and a winter one in St. Anton, Austria so we could ski to and from work.
Q: What have you learnt about libraries and librarians during your time with us?
A: They are vital to the success of institutions but face many challenges on top of keeping collections up to date and users happy.
Q: What do you most enjoy about working with money?
A: Effective control of money is vital to the success of organisations. I enjoy looking after the money so colleagues can get on with their jobs.
Q: On the basis that Australia won’t ever win the football World Cup, what’s the next best? Winning the Ashes or being Rugby World Champions?
A: As long as we beat England, I don’t mind!
