Meat the Team #2 - Alice Tempest was born in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Despite her academic prowess in school, she had a passion for travel and winter sports. After learning to sail in school, Alice embarked on a life alternating between the mountains and the sea, traveling worldwide. Over her 10-year yachting career, she rose to the position of Chief Stewardess and Purser, spending time in Europe, the Caribbean, Asia, and the Pacific.
Although posessing a natural aptitude for figures, Alice was drawn to a nursing career and earned her Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Auckland in 2011. She worked as a cardio-thoracic surgical nurse for most of her career, with a two-year stint in plastics. In her spare time, Alice also earned a diploma in Bookkeeping, which she used to manage the finances for SRS Group.
By 2018, Alice was balancing motherhood, her nursing career, and accounts administration at SRS Group. Her talent for numbers, business acumen, and organizational skills led her to take on a more significant role at SRS, where she now serves as CFO. Her responsibilities include overseeing all financial transactions, business forecasts, and budgets, as well as supporting the SRS team with project management and quantity surveying.
Although Alice works full-time at SRS, she still picks up shifts in cardio-thoracics for fun on the weekends. She enjoys spending time with her young family, traveling, snow sports, and sipping prosecco in beautiful locations.
