Vicky Sellers
Director of Finance

An introduction —
Vicky initially joined Arcus in 1988 so, as with many of the management team, she has grown with the business over a long period of time.

Following her promotion in 1992 she relocated from our Wales office to Manchester as Financial Controller for the practice.

Vicky has assisted the business in the introduction of many of our financial and administration systems, including our web based time recording system to assist in overall financial management of individual projects.

With the rapid growth of the business since the millennium the Board understood the need for greater assistance in the financial management of the business and Vicky was promoted to Director of Finance in 2007.

Having a keen interest in Information Technology Vicky provides an interface between the practice and our external IT consultants, assisting in the management of both our hardware and software systems throughout the practice.

Vicky manages our finance/administration department offering financial advice to the practice alongside that which is provided by our accountants.

Away from work Vicky spends time with her young family and still finds time to go jogging and entering a number of charity fun runs.
