In our employee spotlight series, we get up-close and personal with some of the wonderful team members at Numeric Eight. Today, we get to know Andy Rootes, Director, Sales and Marketing.
I joined the team in April 2020 - just as COVID hit!
I'm responsible for all aspects of sales, marketing and client success.
I worked in a Naval Architect practice many moons ago. I was involved in designing some cool superyachts, including the King of Spain's yacht.
Trudi (Managing Director of Numeric Eight) is my wife, and I've lived and breathed Numeric Eight since its inception over 15 years ago. I'm very proud of what Trudi has achieved over the years. From just her working out of our spare bedroom, to a team of close to 50 staff today - incredible!
Professional. Responsive. Amazing!
The team culture is incredible; I spent many years in sales in the corporate world, working for American software companies. I can honestly say I've never seen a culture close to what we have here at Numeric Eight.
I would love to be able to play the guitar... I tried a few years ago and, despite practising for close to a year, realised I would never be Eric Clapton or Brian May.
Spend time with family and friends, drink great wine and travel.
Loyal. Patient. Generous.
At home, surrounded by family and friends.
Spend 12 months sailing around the Caribbean.
Trudi.
The ability to listen.
If you're unsure, ask your accountant or bookkeeper to explain - in plain English, the basics of finance in business.
You are the expert in what you do, and your bookkeeper should be your best friend in business.
So outsourcing your finance function will help you focus on what you do best – which is grow your business, increase revenue and profitability, safe in the knowledge that your bookkeeper has got your back!
