"I love my job. I feel that I'm working to support British Farming"
I started my accountancy career at the age of 18 and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2004. I joined Lely in 2022 as Finance Manager, responsible for all aspects of finance at Lely Center Yeovil and Holsworthy.
Amanda has held various positions before joining Lely, from HR, Customer Services, Sales, Finance, team management and finally in her most recent job in animal health. Amanda is so far enjoying being back in an office environment still working within the livestock industry with everyday being different.
Having previously heard of Lely during her role in animal health, and from living next to a Lely Farm not too far from the office she jumped at the chance to work with Lely.
Sarah has over 30 years experience in a mixture of office and accounts roles. Working alongside finance manager Louisa she is often answering customer queries over the phone, checking timesheets, ensuring payments are secure, completing VAT Returns and checking bank accounts.
Sarah enjoys working in an company that is organised and full of likeminded individuals. She had vaguely heard of the company before starting but didn't realise the variety of products they provided and this has been really interesting to learn about. She hopes to see all products in action one day!
"I really enjoy working in the agricultural industry and helping farmers each day"
Sophie has worked within the accounts department at Lely Center Yeovil since September 2023, and has since achieved an AAT diploma.
Sophie chose to work at Lely because she has always had a strong interest in agriculture and has known of the brand since she was much younger, as her family have Lely Astronauts on their farm. Sophie's role includes a vast range of responsibilities, allowing her to gain knowledge, while building relationships with both customers and colleagues.
Having been brought up in a rural background and around her grandparents dairy farm Shannon has always had an interest in the agricultural sector.
She preiously worked in motor parts as an advisor however was looking for new job when her husband ( a Lely Engineer) informed her about the stock controller position. She joined Lely Center Yeovil early in 2024 and now enjoys working alongside both the business support team and engineers to ensure customer have the parts and consumables they need.
You will often hear Shannons voice at the end of the phone when you call our stores department.
Ryan started at Lely Center Yeovil in early 2023. Firstly as a Stock Controller, and then changing in position in 2024 to a Service Co-ordinator. His previous position was as a shift manager at a leisure center.
His main role is to schedule the engineers for servicing, commissioning and breakdowns. He liases with farmers to ensure the servicing fits in with their schedule and ensures engineers are where they need to be.
Ryan says "I has always lived rurally but from a non farming background, however I have always looked infrom the outside and been interested in what goes on. Working at Lely Center Yeovil has allowed him to learn more about the industry."
