Meet the team
This is us. No grey suits, no jargon
Historical returns: Lucy started off as a trainee accountant in 2000 before qualifying in 2006, and has worked with businesses from multi-million pound companies to sole traders and start-ups. When Lucy founded Zest in 2015, she wanted to put everything she had learned into practice – but do it better!
Zest for: When not juggling the demands of three children, Lucy loves to be in open, green space or at a cocktail bar…
Historical returns: Having worked together 15 years ago, Tracey was at the forefront of Lucy’s calculations for business growth! She joined the team in May 2016, bringing more than 20 years of payroll and accounting experience with her and adding up to a fantastic investment.
Zest for: When she’s not keeping clients on the straight and narrow, Tracey can be found happily sipping wine and planning her next holiday in the sun.
Historical returns: Phil’s previous career within the Armed Forces and NHS meant challenging work and worldwide travels. Ready for a quieter time, Phil started with Zest in October 2015. Initially responsible for helping with admin, he took a shine to Xero and made the role his own, becoming another Xero certified adviser!
Zest for: Out of hours, Phil’s a big fan of Welsh rugby. Come to think of it, he’s a big fan of any sport that can be watched with a pint in hand…
