Looking back, our processes then seem somewhat antiquated now! It was very much a manual process, taking payment details from clinets over the phone. Debbie approached this task in a professional yet friendly manner, skills that have seen her flourish in her current managerial roles. \u201cNow, it\u2019s so much more efficient and secure with our invoice QR codes and the payment portal via our Legacy software,\u201d Debbie explains. She also had, \u201clots of filing! I\u2019m pleased to say now that we are very much paper-free as a department and as company, so it\u2019s nice to think about all those trees we are helping to save,\u201d she smiles. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" role=\"presentation\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"year\">2013<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title h3\">Team Leader, Accounts Department, CTT Group<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>As CTT Group grew, so did the workload for the Accounts Department. We recruited more team members, and it was clear from Debbie\u2019s integrity and dedication to her work that she was the right person to lead the expanding team. She embraced the responsibility and developed her exceptional problem-solving skills along the way. \u201cI feel I\u2019ve grown with the company,\u201d she shares. \u201cAs the company grows, my knowledge and understanding of the business grows with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"item\" role=\"presentation\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"year\">2018<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title h3\">Director and HOFA, CTT Law <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"content\"><p>In 2018, CTT Group established a partner firm: CTT Law.

Along with this growth came another retsructure for the Accounts Department. Debbie\u2019s proven loyalty and trustworthiness saw her appointed Company Accountant. Here, Debbie used her knowledge and systematic approach to devise concepts that have become crucial to the way the department runs: \u201cI\u2019m proud of the systems and processes that I\u2019ve helped to develop within the business,\u201d she beams, \u201cparticularly around our payments in and out of the business, and our trust accounts.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\n<div class=\"video-wrapper container wp-block \">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 after-bg-color\">\n\t\t\t\t  <iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/791129824?h=aac7e82fdc&amp;title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;speed=0&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen title=\"CTT Group - Hero of the Month Interview - Debbie Bates\"><\/iframe>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"small-statement border-color wp-block \">\n\t<div class=\"h3 title\">\n\tWhat does Debbie love the most about her job? \n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"content\">\n\t\t<p>The variety!
