Introducing:
Kim Birley
Sales Ledger/Credit Control
AJW Chatteris
Introduce yourself Kim
I was born in Enfield, and grew up in Royston in Hertfordshire and I now live near the Chatteris depot. I live with my partner and we have a 4-year-old daughter.
I have worked at AJW since October 2020. Previous to this I worked for a bank.
I work in the AJW accounts department as the credit controller. In my role, I process new account applications and chasing overdue invoices. I also deal with queries and have regular contact with branches to release orders for them.
What do you love?
In my free time I am studying a diploma in interior design. I have a keen interest in interior design and I have been using these skills to develop my own home.
I enjoy going out for drinks and meeting up with friends.
I have a big interest in food and love eating out. I am lucky my partner is a great cook.
I really enjoy reading and try to do this every day.
I like watching Netflix and enjoy documentaries and box sets.
What do you hate?
People that drop litter and a lack of common sense.
Any hidden talents or hobbies?
I like to collect rare 50p and £2 coins.
I enjoy running but I am nowhere near a marathon runner. However during the month of September I completed the Cancer Research challenge to run 60 miles over the month. This was a huge achievment for me.
If you could learn to do anything, what would it be?
One of the things I would like to do is learn to sing. I don’t want to perform it would just be for my own personal achievements.
What is your favourite country that you have been to visit?
Probably Crete, I went there on holiday and I loved everything about it, the scenery, the people, and the food.
What does your job involve?
I am involved in banking, taking payments, chasing payments, problem solving, customer queries, credit checking, new account forms, invoicing, credits and statements. Being a small team I do end up getting involved in anything else that is needed.
What do you enjoy about your job?
I love that no two days are the same. I enjoy being able to progress in my career and become more involved in credit control.
I enjoy the small family atmosphere at AJW Distribution, far more than the big corporate companies. I feel valued as part of the team.
