Introducing: Will Stevenson
Having originally joined THFC as a temp in September 2009 knowing nothing about social housing, after a steep learning curve I became a permanent member of staff at the start of July 2010. In the role of “Treasury Analyst” I am responsible for providing support to the Group Treasurer (Fenella Edge) and Relationship Managers (Steve Primarolo and Nigel Perryman).
My roles include collation of covenant compliance certificates, analysis of accounts, maintaining and updating THFC’s credit grading system and producing papers for credit committee. Studying Mathematics at the University of Sussex prepared me well for this role preparing my mind for the analytical ways of thinking required. I am now studying for the first stage of my Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT) treasury exams.
In my spare time I enjoy finding ways to physically challenge myself. So far this year I have run the Brighton marathon, ridden the length of the South Downs Way on my mountain bike and taken part in the Mega Avalanche mountain bike race in Alpe D’Huez, France (widely know as the longest downhill race in the world descending 2600 metres vertically). As you can imagine I was disappointed to join THFC just too late to take part in the 3 peaks challenge but next year I hope to persuade the team to take part in another similarly exhausting charitable endeavour.
