Duane Lakey - Country Head of Finance
Passion
I am eager to learn and enjoy experiencing new things in business and life. What I am most passionate about is making a tangible difference in what ever I do and to add value where needed (and not).
Experience
I started out in the Freight industry in 2002 as a Shipping Clerk but when I changed jobs in 2004 I started in the Finance department. I literally started at the bottom as a ‘’splitter/admin assistant’’ putting together document packs for clients and today I have experience in every facet of accounting and finance within the industry.
