Gill Lake
Chartered Accountant
I was born in Southampton and moved up to Bedford in 1983, when I married my husband Andy.
I went to University in Guildford (Surrey) and gained a degree in maths and economics, so what better career than as a Chartered Accountant. Previously my work involved looking after about 100 clients, some with household names, in auditing their pension fund accounts. I like to think I am not the proverbial boring grey-suited accountant, although I do confess to having grey suits. In July 2014 I decided to set up my own consultancy practice and now look after the accounts for a number of local small businesses.
I have been a Guide Leader since I was 21 and am currently a Guide and Rainbow Leader as well as holding many other girlguiding roles within the Anglia region. I am also a school governor.
I am a founder member of the club and was President some years ago and again in 2013/2014. I joined to meet new people in different fields to the ones that I usually work in.
