Some people might be surprised to learn that the TGS accounts team is only comprised of three individuals but as a close knit team they can perform the work traditionally associated with a larger group. At the heart of the accounts team are the underlying TGS principles of customer service, honesty and integrity.

The accounts team have a role in providing financial reporting and control but they are also an integrated support element of the wider TGS operation. The control of the vehicle stock and the daily updating of options and part stock are one example of their involvement. TGS procures worldwide and the accounts team maintain contacts with their supplier counterparts in Australia, South Africa, The USA as well as local companies in Gibraltar. TGS delivers vehicles to projects across the developing world and have customers across the globe. To put the activity in perspective, in a year the team will process more than fifty thousand transactions through the accounting system and report on a monthly basis the health of the company. They are responsible for the parts stock that exceeds $2,500,000, the stock of 900+ vehicles and the numerous bank accounts in multiple currencies that are needed to run the complex TGS business.

TGS expects accurate and timely data to be available at all times so customer queries can be responded to on the same day. However the accounts team goes further than this and use their collective experience to resolve payment issues and problems that occur when customers are operating in remote locations. The accounts team are very aware that for the providers of humanitarian aid the overriding objectives of their work rightly take precedence over back-office administration. Therefore the accounts team aim to make transactions as smooth and simple as possible to ensure that valuable time is not lost on administration. In their own words, “The team aim to meet the daily challenges with trust, honesty and a smile.”
