Meet the team: Michael Lanny, Group Financial Controller

We're a friendly bunch here at Everflow Water – we like to get to know our brokers and customers, and show potential employees what we’re all about, so our ‘Meet the Team’ series is here to do just that!

The last post in this series featured our Senior Customer Services Advisor, Ben, and now we’ve brought in Group Financial Controller, Michael, for the fun Q&A (to prove accountants do have a fun side! Sometimes)…

Role: Group Financial Controller

Where are you based? Wynyard (North East)

Favourite thing about working for Everflow? The people

What does a typical working day look like for you? I don’t think there is such thing as a typical day! Looking after the finance function, providing support and information to the board, forecasting, internal controls, risk management, commercials, to name a few

What’s your favourite Everflow company value, and why? We have a value called Responsibility, which is my favourite. Ethics are important to me, and play a big part in the role of a finance professional at any level in an organisation

If a movie was made about your life, what genre would it be? Haven’t you seen ‘The Accountant’ with Ben Affleck?

What’s the one thing you’ve always wanted to do? Sail the world

What’s your favourite animal and why? Cats, because they look after themselves

What’s your favourite meal? Sunday roast

Favourite holiday destination? Anywhere with sun and a beach

What type of music do you listen to? 90s in the car, dance in the gym, and classical at home

Describe yourself in three words: Tall, dark and handsome (I’m 5ft 7…)
