New Finance Director Joins Indigo Group
Written by Amy

The Indigo Group, a Construction Industry Scheme contractor that specialises in the engagement of subcontractors, has appointed former practice accountant Liza Gratton as its Finance Director.

The Indigo Group has more than 40 years’ experience in the contracting, outsourced payroll and umbrella industries and provides end to end solutions for contractors, freelancers and agencies.

Having worked in the accountancy sector for 20 years, Liza Gratton became a fully qualified accountant in 2005 after completing her professional exams with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). Liza has been member of the ICAEW for more than a decade.  In recognition of dedication to the industry and continuing professional development, she is now recognised as a fellow member, FCA.

After dedicating her early career to working in practice, Liza stepped into industry in 2012 providing accountancy and advisory services to range of businesses, but with focus on the construction and staffing sectors.

Liza was appointed as Finance Director in July bringing a different dynamic and additional experience to the existing team of James Smith and Ian Cole-Wilkins.

Indigo Group CEO, Ian Cole-Wilkins, said of the appointment: “The Indigo Group is at the start of its recently agreed 5 year plan. A plan that is set to see group turnover exceed £500m.  Liza is vital to us delivering on this goal, her track-record in the sector is excellent and her accountancy skills beyond doubt, but it is her commercial appreciation and drive that sets her apart from many of her peers”

In preparation for leading Indigo’s financial team, Liza was invited to take part in the ICAEW Network for Finance Leaders (NFL) programme, designed to help participants understand and develop their strategic leadership style, generate new ideas and contribute to the growth of a business. Liza graduates from the programme in October.
