With an extensive background in finance and credit control at organisations such as Scottish and Newcastle, Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce, and City of Edinburgh Council, Louise has worked as a compliance officer with teams administering the Scottish Government’s Equalities and Human Rights funding streams since 2015.
Closely involved with the implementation of customer relationship management systems and staff wellbeing initiatives, Louise loves helping projects make a difference to people’s lives.
