Over the past 12 months, we have seen several changes within the Finance Team, including movement of staff, adjustments to responsibilities, and improvements to our workflows.
We are pleased to share that the Finance Team is now fully staffed and operating with clearly defined areas of responsibility. To help ensure your queries are directed to the right person and can be resolved as efficiently as possible, we would like to inform everyone across the Diocese of the key contacts within the team.
We ask, where appropriate, that the shared inboxes are used. These are monitored by multiple team members and allows queries to be actioned promptly, even when individual staff are unavailable. The leads for each entity are also available to contact and they will be able to put you in touch with the team member most suited to assist you.
