Claire Bennett

Career in a nutshell - studied A Levels at college with the intention of being a journalist but ended up as an accounting trainee at Kelsall Steele .... and have stayed ever since! I spent the first 2 years training and qualifying as an accountant and tax advisor but for the last 8 I have taken on the role of the team co-ordinator, taking care of all our customers, welcoming new clients and supporting our team of 10 to do the same. I also co-ordinate everything to do with finance 4 chiropractors including the website, practices for sale and recruitment and again the team.

The best thing I have ever done - taking 3 months off work (after the hard work of 10 years before) to go travelling in South America.

Also, having the courage at age 26 to get train track style braces fitted!

Certificates on the wall - A Levels in English, Photography and Business. AAT (Accountancy Qualification) 

Life outside work -  Living in beautiful Cornwall I love spending time outdoors, at the beach, walking, wakeboarding, camping and meeting friends for BBQ's.  I also love to travel so spend as much of my holidays and money as possible on visiting new places.

Mid 2009 I started a salsa class with a couple of friends and have become completely hooked on everything dance related. I go to at least 2 salsa classes a week plus weekend workshops and also have weekly lessons in ballroom and latin and my favourite, the Argentine Tango.

I also work sporadic hours in a charity shop and try to get involved with local fundraising activites where possible.

I want to be - a mum to about 10 happy, healthy children to fill the house with laughter and love!

What people say about me - "...it is only a game" anyone who plays any sport / game against me (I am very competetive and slightly a sore loser!)

"how is the bramble bus going" all the team in work. (I have a car named "the bramble bus" as it is old, knackered and often has some form of tree attached to the bumper - not sure how they get there!)
