Kim Birley

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.

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.

People that drop litter and a lack of common sense.

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.

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.

Probably Crete, I went there on holiday and I loved everything about it, the scenery, the people, and the food.

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.

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.
