ABOUT IAN CHADAWAY

As a qualified Accountant, analytical skills and an attention to detail come second nature. Iam very confident at looking at data for trends and patterns which underpin a business’s performance, however where I excel is how I provide insights and breakdown, often complex detail, into simple terms and give recommendations & suggested actions to influence the performance of the task and not simply report on what has happened. I am a highly motivated team player who is driven by developing myself and others. I have been recognised in my current business for collaboration and I have experience working with multiple stakeholders including customers, external suppliers, finance, HR, L&D/training, marketing, internal communications, sales and operational teams. My colleagues see me as a trustworthy, resilient and decisive individual who works well independently but thrives leading and being part of a team environment. I have proven presentation skills from virtual national conferences to on stage roadshows in front of >100 colleagues. My current role is working within a pan European group function and building relationships and communication is critical to the success of the business.A naturally inquisitive individual, who loves to get into the route causes of why people do what they do so we can establish process and give the correct tools and autonomy to drive the best commercial performance of any task. I am enthusiastic about educating others on how we best use data, market intelligence and customer insights to support commercial decisions both tactically and strategically. Outside of work my financial ability has also been recognised when I was voted onto my Golf Clubs Management Committee where I was responsible for the finances and production of Limited Company Accounts for the c.£1m turnover members club. During this appointment I was an integral part of proposing & implementing a new organisational structure and keeping the club financially stable during the COVID outbreak by implementing processes and creating rolling business plans to deliver strategic objectives, such as attracting new members and future course and clubhouse developments.
