Lyn Wright

Administration

My role at Academy is credit controller for with the Administration Department. I have been back at Academy since end of October after returning from visiting my immediate family in the UK. I first started in April 2010 and left Feb 2011 after the dreaded quake. I feel very fortunate and grateful to be able to join the Admin team again and although it is challenging trying to convince some people to pay it is also very rewarding when you see the payments come through. I thoroughly enjoy the role and enjoy the company of the team very much.

Prior to working here I was employed by Ravensdown Fertiliser for 13 years looking after all 14,000 shareholder accounts.

My outside interests are walking and wine appreciation. I did a course at Hagley on wine appreciation learning about wines from regions etc and I am currently in a walking group and join up with them most Wednesdays.

Jo Pritchard

Administration

I started working for Academy in April 2016. I moved to New Zealand from the UK in August 2013 bringing along my Husband & 3 children; we have all settled really well and are loving our new life here in New Zealand. I have worked as a credit controller since the age of 16 and have a lot of years’ experience in the field; for some reason I love my job. Outside of work I like to spend quality time with my family, we want to see as much of New Zealand as we can. I also love socialising with friends especially in the summer when we can have a good BBQ and a few wines.
