Claudia van Deventer

Finance Manager

Which of BOTTLE’s four values best describes you and why?

Definitely Grounded - ‘Making PR Accountable’. In a literal sense - from a finance point of view! That’s my passion.
My role is to ensure that BOTTLE publishes accurate financial information with a focus on management accounting and strategic development. Analysing key performance trends in our business, keeping our 5-year growth plan on track and identifying risk before it becomes a problem.
I am without a doubt GROUNDED, I have my ear to the ground at all times, it keeps me well informed! Information and knowledge is key; it assists with the financial planning process so that BOTTLE can make big decisions for the future, and for the future of our clients.

Give me some idea of the companies you’ve worked with and for:

DDB Middle East and Africa (South Africa), Ashmolean Museum of Art & Archaeology, Oxford University’s Bodleian Libraries, Esporta Health & Racquets

What makes you tick outside work?

The 3-F’s - Family, friends and food!
Along with warm summer days, blue skies, BBQ’s and picnics. Tennis, swimming and geo-caching. Tropical islands, boats & beaches. MANGO and Plan UK. And a bit of crime fiction reading in the evening.
