Finance & Administration Executive, Kirsty Light, will oversee the day-to-day finance and admin with a focus on overall cost efficiency together with the provision of quality management information – such as spearheading the paper-free initiative. Kirsty brings to FirstClass 15 years’ experience across several engineering and customer focussed industries wearing different hats in a variety of roles. With a broad breadth of skills, from executive assistant to IT support, financial and data analyst to account manager, Kirsty is the go-to girl for anything office based.

Mark Meyrick, Director of FirstClass Safety & Control said: “Tony & Kirsty have joined us at a pivotal time in the growth of FirstClass as we continue to win project orders from both home and overseas markets.

“They both stood out as excellent candidates and I am really looking forward to working with them as part of “Team FirstClass”. The only issue we have now is one of space, a nice problem to have and one that will be resolved over the next month or so, watch this space.”
