Mike Jones

Finance Director

“After growing up in Africa and graduating from Business School with qualifications in Business Administration and Accountancy, I spent ten years working for the Singer Sewing Machine Company in several global positions across their Finance, Marketing and Sales divisions. I then spent the next two decades working in Finance and IT with Initial, Guinness, Diageo and Shell, and I have been specialising as a Finance and IT Trainer since 2013.

At Starford, I head up our own Finance and IT Operations as well as offering training programmes for our clients. From creating bespoke presentations to developing interactive learning sessions, I enjoy working with our clients to understand their training needs across several areas of expertise, including; Accounting, Finance, IT Development, Cloud, Operating Systems (UNIX, MS), and Google applications.

Not only do I enjoy training others, but I am a passionate learner myself and recently completed an Open University BSc Degree in Computer Science, Finance, Astronomy & Cosmology. I am a Chartered Management Accountant and am pursuing further studies in Financial Analysis.”
