Lesley Downie

Lesley joined Affinity in 2020, and brings a wealth of experience from her previous role as a director at Pinnacle Trustees. Using her many years’ experience as an accountant, across a range of industries, she has now assumed full responsibility for Affinity’s finances. Lesley holds a foundation certificate in accounting from the Association of Accounting Technicians and is a CIMA management accountant – a qualification she gained whilst on a gap year while travelling the world.

During Lesley’s early career she worked on the early stages of IT adoption in banking and for several computer manufacturing companies. A music enthusiast, when not in the office, Lesley may be found dancing the days and nights away at any number of festivals, locally and further afield. Having attended Glastonbury twice, her favourite gig to date (reflecting the rebellious teenager in herself) remains watching the Stone Roses at Wembley.
