Meet Vivienne Ravenhill, Senior Financial Controller in the Blackfinch Energy team
"In the course of my career I have enjoyed working for some big names like Yellow Pages, Vodafone, and KPMG. I was looking for a change and was keen to join a smaller company with clear aims in which I could make more of an impact, and Blackfinch ticked a lot of those boxes.
Read my blog where I share what it’s like to work at Blackfinch, how life in the finance team is different to anywhere else I’ve worked, and why I’ve been wearing a hard hat!”
Meet Nicola Mayes, Senior Investment Manager in the Blackfinch Property team
"What drew me to Blackfinch was the company's growth ambitions and the opportunity to work on impactful projects. I was impressed by the team's drive to make a difference in the property sector.
Joining a smaller company with less than 100 employees was a big change for me, but it has certainly helped me evolve my career by giving me access to a business where I can have direct impact."
