In The Spotlight – Wayne Penlington

Wayne Penlington Accountant at Alexander Accountancy Burton upon Trent

This month’s ‘In the Spotlight” features one of our director’s Wayne Penlington.

Wayne “figured” out early on in life that he wanted to become an accountant so it was no surprise that he went on to qualify as a Chartered Certified Accountant at the tender age of 24.  He gained a vast amount of experience during 15 years working with 2 large accountancy practices before moving on to spend 10 years in industry.

During this time Wayne has gained a passion for working with small businesses to help them understand their performance, set their targets and make the correct informed decisions to achieve them.  Wayne firmly believes in getting a real understanding of each business and there is no substitute for getting stuck into a problem to find a solution.  He truly believes that the “devil is in the detail”.  If there is one message that Wayne always likes to preach it is that all businesses, no matter how small, need to plan their future.

Wayne also enjoys identifying where IT can help make a business improve its performance and always encourages a business to look for a better way.

Outside the workplace Wayne’s priority is his wife and 3 children; Wayne is the entertainment manager and is charged with finding a different activity every Sunday to keep the whole family entertained.  You will also find him on a crown green playing bowls on a Saturday afternoon, usually as the rain is just about to start!
