Marina Gordon, Funding Accountant

I have worked in accounts and finance for 35 years. I have experienced many different industries including advertising, interior design and nursing.  I also spent 12 years in Spain managing my own accounts for various businesses.

I previously managed the accounts for a chain of nursing homes until I joined LE in Feb 2017.  Originally,  I joined as a management accountant until my role changed to Funding accountant.  I take care of the invoicing and funding across the nurseries.

I’m really enjoying working at LE watching all the adorable little ones running around when I arrive at work in the morning.

Linda Trimmings, Finance Assistant 

I started my Career in Finance after I left school and worked in various Investment Banks and Investment Management Companies in the City.

After a Career break bringing up my two wonderful sons I worked as an Administrator for an IT Company and as a Business Rates Officer for Westminster.

I joined Little Elms in 2023 as a Finance Administrator and my role is primarily updating the receipts and Purchase Ledger. 

I am part of a busy small team where no two days are the same and I really enjoy working at Little Elms. My colleagues are lovely, and It is always a joy seeing the happy faces of the excited children when I come into work.
