She holds a Bachelor's degree in Accountancy from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.  She was admitted as a member of the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants ("ISCA") in 1998 and has been a Chartered Accountant since 2001.

 

At the same time, Mr Andrew Scott Martin is the Financial Controller of Global Invacom Limited and is responsible for the overall financial management of the Company's operations in United Kingdom, Israel and the United States.

 

Mr Martin has extensive manufacturing experience and has spent 18 years working for a United States manufacturer in the military and aerospace sectors listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the last 10 years of which he was the Financial Accounting Manager at its main United Kingdom operation before he joined the Company in January 2015.
