What you can gain: - 

This event will look at the key skills and attributes that a finance manager will need to possess in order to make the big step up to finance director level. It will also cover the change in work type from the number crunching of the finance manager to the broader, more strategic, ad-hoc and often admin focused role of the finance director.

Glenn Collins is currently Director of Finance Operations at Interserve; one of the world's foremost support services and construction companies operating in the public and private sectors in the UK and internationally. Glenn helped create the financial shared service centre back in September 2009 which aimed to act as a single point of contact for all finance and accounting services for the support services division, whilst maintaining best practice and customer intimacy, and at the same time transferring use to Microsoft Dynamics ERP; a key highlight. The finance shared service centre now delivers the business a full suite of finance services, from transaction processing to forecasting and business support; achieved through a journey of standardisation, automation and people development to create this high performing SSC.

Prior to joining Interserve, Glenn spent four years at Pentland Brands Plc as head of shared services and eight years at Rockwell Automation in a variety of senior finance roles, including three years in Rotterdam turning around their poorly performing EMEA SSC.
