Melanie Lomas

Mel has been working within a Finance environment for over 25 years across various sectors. Her career in Finance began when she worked for the National Lottery Charities Board [known now as the Big Lottery Fund] where she was responsible for the day-to-day finances, analysis of spending along with forecasting and budgeting. Mel later had the opportunity to work in the Finance Department at the House of Commons where she was responsible for all aspects of cash management, income, and credit control. Whilst there Mel volunteered to support new Members of Parliament and helped to induct them into parliament acting as a sign-post/go-to for any queries they may have with the administration process of Parliament.

Mel's role in PCAS is varied and she manages all aspects of Finance with the support of her team, this can range from the analysis of operational output to reporting on the company’s performance via monthly reports to inform senior management and support key decision-making.
