Experience

I’m currently taking the first steps in my accounting career, having joined the business after starting by independently studying AAT, and am very much excited to continue this journey with Dafferns.

Hobbies and interests

I spend most of my free time with my family and friends. I also enjoy playing and listening to wide range of music, playing video games, and watching movies.

Today is world menopause day, a day to raise aware

Today is world menopause day, a day to raise awareness, share knowledge and support women’s health globally through midlife and beyond. Menopause is a natural phase of life that will affect all women, and indirectly, everyone around them — colleagues, family, and friends. By understanding and supporting, we can help create workplaces and communities where women feel empowered, informed, and cared for.

This year’s theme is Lifestyle Medicine in Menopausal Health

"Menopause is not a disease, but it can bring symptoms and health risks that need personalised care. This year’s White Paper shows strong evidence that lifestyle medicine – healthy eating, regular activity, good sleep, emotional wellbeing and supportive relationships – can make a real difference. Together with other evidence-based treatments when needed, these approaches give women the tools to make informed choices and feel strong and well through this stage of life.” Prof. Rossella Nappi, IMS President

It’s been a busy week for the team, both in and out of the office!

Last night, Luke took on the BRI Pool Tournament, while Harriet headed to Warwick for the @cwchampions Next Gen evening.

We like being able to share these opportunities across the team - it’s a great way to connect with like-minded professionals in our region, all while keeping our focus on delivering for our clients.

@xero events are always a favourite of ours, and the one Mandeep and Sally attended earlier this week was no exception!

It’s such a great opportunity to step out of the office, connect with the Xero team, and network with fellow accountants and bookkeepers from across the region. Plus, hearing first-hand updates from the world of Xero (and beyond!) is always inspiring.

This year’s hot topics:
AI, JAKS, SYFT, MTD

Today marks #WorldMentalHealthDay, and this year’s global theme is “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.” It’s a timely reminder that mental health support is not a luxury – it’s a necessity.

While we may not all face emergencies in the traditional sense, many of us experience personal or professional challenges that can feel overwhelming. That’s why creating a supportive, open culture at work is so important – and why Mental Health First Aiders play a vital role in helping colleagues feel heard, understood, and supported.

At Dafferns, we’re proud to have a growing team of Mental Health First Aiders who are passionate about making mental wellbeing a priority: David Halkett, Sophie Essex-Masmoudi and Sally Sutherland will soon be joined by Sunny Sandhu and Joanne Curtis.

If you ever feel like things are getting too much – whether due to work pressures, personal circumstances, or just the weight of the world – please know you’re not alone. Reach out. Talk to someone. Let’s keep the conversation going – not just today, but every day.
