What do you do at Re-Gen?

I’ve held three posts at Re-Gen Waste: Management Accountant (2016-2019), Finance Manager (2019-2021) and Head of Strategic and Commercial Finance (April 2021-present). My role within Re-Gen is to work with various members of the wider team – and the sister companies Re-Gen Robotics and Connex Offsite.

I work alongside the tendering team when submitting a tender proposal for a new contract and help to build business plans for new business ideas. These plans allow us to evaluate each idea so we can prioritise attention. They also allow us to identify any unanswered questions or assumptions that we need to investigate further before we can fully evaluate an idea. When the business plan is up and running, I assess how the actual workings of the idea compare to what we had modelled when we were initially evaluating the idea.

I also help evaluate and put into figures any potential efficiencies which members of the team suggest that we as a company could make. These efficiencies may be time or money saving or involve providing a better all-around service.
