“I have worked with Glyn Abba since 2012 when he was appointed Finance Director of Pure Washrooms Ltd working 3 days a month. Glyn was introduced to us by Garry Jesson of the EFM Network who we had previously dealt with as part of a funding exercise for our business when we did an MBO from a venture capitalist who had funded our start-up business.” “Glyn is an exceptionally able finance director who understands our business culture and strategy. In addition due to his broad commercial experience, he regularly expands his remit beyond the confines of the finance function to deliver excellent advice and support on the broader commercial issues of the business. Glyn is always reliable and efficient and has a high degree of involvement with the Leadership Team where he consistently delivers great support and advice. Glyn has been involved with issues such as funding, taxation, business restructuring, tax advice, HR support, recruitment, property issues, new IT systems, internal company presentations, and general hand-holding for the directors!” “Glyn is very personable and quickly establishes excellent working relationships with everyone in the business. He has integrated himself seamlessly into our business and is recognised by all colleagues as fully effective member of our Leadership Team.” “I would not hesitate to recommend Glyn Abba to any organisation that wants to appoint an experienced and effective Finance Director to the management team.”

Glyn’s work in action

A successful exit strategy- How Pure Washrooms were sold with EFM support

Set up in 2003, Pure Washrooms was third-party funded and run by two directors with equal shareholding. Glyn Abba, an experienced EFM Finance Director with multi-sector expertise, was introduced to the company in 2013 by EFM’s Managing Director, Gary Jesson. Glyn acted as FD, working for Pure Washrooms one day per week initially on business plans, cash flow analysis and management accounts, as well as enabling the directors to withdraw earnings in more tax-efficient ways.
