Katy Wicks

I am a qualified chartered accountant (FCCA) with 17 years experience in practice. I joined Barwell Accountants in 2010 and I work within the Accounts and Tax Department.

I enjoy the diverse range of businesses we offer services to and I particularly like the taxation side of things. As one of the longest standing members of the team, I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the firm grow.

Our team certainly appreciates good food! We’ve had several memorable trips to London sampling afternoon tea at various places.

Away from work, much of my time at the weekend is spent on the side of a rugby pitch, watching either my husband or sons, Thomas and Will, playing for Wisbech. I also have a 3 year old called Matilda who keeps me busy. When I’m not supporting the boys, my interests include skiing and tennis.

Claire Gayton

I joined the team in 2011 having originally trained with Nickie way back in the nineties! I am a qualified accountant (FCCA) working in the accounts and tax side of the business. For me, the best part of the job is giving tax advice to clients where you can clearly demonstrate the financial benefit of taking a certain path.

Like my colleague Lucy, I also went into labour at work!

Outside of work, I am a busy mum of two boys. I do try to keep fit but do not always succeed! To help with my fitness, I have started to run which certainly took me out of my comfort zone. I have run a couple of half marathons and plan to do more.

Lucy Davis

I am a qualified chartered certified accountant (FCCA) with 14 years experience in practice. I joined Barwell Accountants in 2015 and am part of the Accounts and Tax team.

I enjoy customer contact and visiting clients’ premises as part of the many services we offer.

One of my most memorable experiences whilst working at Barwells would be when I went into labour when sitting at my desk!

We have a great team which I thoroughly enjoy being part of. I especially enjoy the afternoon tea outings which we have tried and tested at a number of locations.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I have a toddler who keeps me on my toes!

Jaclyn Pearce

I have worked for Barwell Accountants for 6 years as Payroll and Bookkeeping Manager dealing with all of our clients who use this service. They have all grown and changed alongside our growing department over these years.

Outside of work, I like to travel and keep fit. While working for Nickie, I have bought my own house and got a dog called Chester.

Sam Wheatley

I have worked for Barwell Accountants for 4 years now in the Payroll and Bookkeeping department. It has been a great journey to see the practice grow over these 4 years and be part of a strong team.

In my spare time I enjoy showing my horses with my two daughters. We also enjoy hiking and love to travel to many destinations for our next adventure.
