Stuart Styles

I joined PyB in August 2023 and my key responsibilities include managing the day-to-day activities of the finance department; development of the finance team, on time and accurate reporting of financial performance; and being an active member of the senior leadership team.

I am a qualified finance professional with 35 years’ experience of working in the commercial sector, predominately for SMEs in a range of industries. My career started as a trainee management accountant for a national training and recruitment company where I progressed to being the accountant for the recruitment division. From this foundation, my roles progressed through being a commercial accountant with a transport business, Group Financial Controller with a global digital hearing aid manufacture and Head of Finance / Finance Director for a range of businesses including a boat sales business, property developer, hearing aid retailer and specialist haulier.

North Wales is a place I know very well through family living in the area and spending many summer holidays in the region. I relocated to the area several years ago and am happy to call the region my home.

Working at PyB enables me to spend time in a place of stunning scenery that is special to me.

I enjoy the outdoors and spending my time working with likeminded people is a privilege. I have been keen to move away from the commercial sector and work for a charity or a not-for-profit entity. Whilst running my own business I purposely targeted charities to work with and I’m happy to say that I helped a number of them to save significant amounts of money through better value procurement.

Working at PyB allows me the opportunity to put my energies into an organisation that believes in the many benefits of being in the outdoors and the importance of physical activity and personal development as part of a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
