ZIGGY Edwards is the new accounts assistant at Nailsworth live-in care agency Corinium Care.

Having worked in HR and finance for seven years, she takes up a new role alongside Corinium’s director of finances Rachel Dedman.

Born and brought up in Wales, Ziggy left school at 18 and spent many years working abroad in places as far flung as Australia and as small as Alderney in the Channel Islands.

She gained her Association of Accounting Technicians qualifications in 2007 after studying part-time for three years.

Since then, Ziggy, 48, has been a finance assistant for Ceredigion Council in Aberystwyth. Her move to Corinium coincides with a move to Stonehouse with her partner.

“It’s great here, busy and relaxed at the same time and I’m dealing with people as well as with numbers,” she said. “It’s quite different from working for a local authority.”
